Catalogue Essay
"Axel Hütte has developed a singular approach to his photographic compositions: his landscapes, flora, waterfalls, and bridges each focus on a single motif - sky, water, or plant take up the entire image. They convey a sense of the infinite: the subject isn't framed, its position as sole element suggests its continuation out of the frame, on and on. Geometric composition is a central theme in his work, and he finds and represents the lines, circles and repetitive shapes that exist in nature."
