Series Cascade

the search for an instant up- and downward flowing movement

Choosing a vertical movement, mostly of a larger size, I engage in seizing a ascending and descending movement through transparent veils of one tonal hue. The movement is equally ascending and descending, giving the impression of an eternal metamorphosis- a process that seems to unfold continuously. An instantly up and downward movement. 

Cascade as a physical entity - water - is in a descending movement, but as an image it ascends to the sky. Therefore it has as much an ascending as descending quality and produces an instant metamorphosis. To unite the duality into one single experience of up and downward flowing movement is the aim of the serie Cascade, which took it's beginning in 1992 with the Cascade de Nachi, homage to the famous Shinto waterfall in southern Japan.
