Photographer Roswitha Schleicher-Schwarz presents a series that merges abstraction with the unpredictable rhythm of the street. Coming from a background in painting, Roswitha began photographing in 2007, guided by an intent to go beyond representation. Rather than documenting reality, her work focuses on translating the emotions and sensations she experiences while capturing a moment.
Her approach often involves deliberate experimentation—working with unfocused images or using mannequins. These methods create distance from literal depiction and invite the viewer into a more interpretive and emotional engagement with the photograph.
In this abstract and street photography collection, Roswitha bridges the boundary between visual art and emotional experience. The streets become her canvas, where blurred contours and unusual compositions convey presence, memory, and mood rather than clarity. The result is a body of work that reflects the artist’s continuous search for the invisible essence within the visible world.
