Blindschleiche und Riesenblatt can be seen as an ode to slowness - an ode to nature, light and emptiness. Schwalbe photographs her surroundings intuitively, with no preconceived ideas. Compiled in a publication or hanging together in an exhibition, the photos become the lines of a poem. Photographed prose. Schwalbe visualizes stillness, providing another voice and a welcome change from the contemporary visual bombardment.
