“Tales is an ongoing publication series. Minimal in content and form each publication captures something worth seeing, sometimes it is only a banal gesture.”
This is nr. 35:
“Lago di Braies, Dolomites, Italy, August 2011
The Tales series has accompanied Cramer for over 25 years, unfolding narratives through minimal means with just a few pages and photographs. Through the repetition of similar images, subtle changes gradually surface, allowing understated narratives to resonate. It is moments of suspension, captured just before something happens, leaving both the photographed subjects and the viewers suspended in a quiet tension.
‘Every photograph I take is taken with the hope that a possible narrative will unfold. Later, in the studio, I can see whether a sequence can actually be found that will yield a small story from the various pictures – or from one individual photograph. It is through repetition of a similar image that these narratives begin to emerge. Often almost invisible changes can generate the most intense moments.’”
Featuring 2 reproduced colour photographs of a lonely figure rowing across a vast lake.
