“Classic Africa”
Africa’s wild animals, the vastness of the arctic, and, above all, the earth’s inexhaustible reservoir of forms and colours: These are the phenomena that lead Michael Poliza to begin taking photos of nature and animals from a helicopter. Now he has chosen to present eight striking portraits of individual animals from his “Classic Series.” These black and white shots of predatory cats, giraffes, and elephants vary in their composition, but share a gentle, almost vintage quality: The lion’s mane appears shaggier, the eyes of the leopard glossier. It is as if a trace of wild photography is lurking behind the portrayal of these wild animals.
