SAXUM, Untitled I, 2016 – 150x140cm Buy
The SAXUM series reshapes the grammar of landscape photography. Moving beyond conventions of grandeur and conquest, these works invite a quieter, more intimate engagement with the natural world. Captured in the Dolomites, the photographs reveal the landscape as a seamless continuum of detail, where every element—grain, stone, massif—holds equal importance.
Schgaguler’s method is as meticulous as it is meditative. Using a high-resolution camera, he scans the landscape, capturing multiple images of each scene. These fragments are then assembled into an ensemble, ensuring every aspect is sharply rendered, treating all elements equally and resisting any attempt to direct the viewer’s gaze. Instead, it invites them to inhabit the entirety of the scene.
The series reflects the physicality of being in these high-altitude terrains. Fatigue and exertion dissolve the mind’s preoccupations, leaving only the immediacy of the present moment. In the same way, these images transcend the divide between the monumental and the minute, inviting a deeper presence in the act of seeing.
The series collapses the divide between the monumental and the minute, shifting the focus from mastery to surrender, from looking to truly seeing. SAXUM reminds us: to encounter the world fully, we must first let ourselves disappear into it.
