{"product_id":"mat-hennek-sounds-of-spheres","title":"Mat Hennek: Sounds of Spheres","description":"In the atmospheric photographs of \u003ci\u003eSounds of Spheres\u003c\/i\u003e, Mat Hennek creates striking impressions of how we imaginatively engage with nature. Whether depicting the world from a traditional receding perspective-a misty landscape at sunrise, snow-laden branches, palm trees bending in the wind-or from above-the serpentine curves of a river, fossil-like patterns in sand, the churning surface of the ocean-Hennek does not record nature but captures the apparitions it evokes. Through the soft blurring of edges, lyrical color and a focus on pattern, his images move between representation and abstraction, simultaneously capturing and veiling form. The idea of the sphere links subjects that may at first seem unrelated: a rock posed like a face at the top of a mountain, the glowing ball of the setting sun, the round shapes of ice crystals in a miniature frozen universe, and the great globe of the Earth upon which all this unfolds. And yet Hennek's fascination with spheres is never merely formal: through the \"sounds of spheres\" he taps into the harmonizing musical resonances of all living things-secret but accessible, if we only listen closely enough.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAll living beings produce sounds, just like the planets in the universe: a symphony that we hear only if we become attentive.\u003c\/i\u003e - Mat Hennek","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664218001444,"sku":"9783969991473","price":130.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783969991473.jpg?v=1778183454","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/mat-hennek-sounds-of-spheres","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
