Elementum
Hendrik Paul
“When I take a photograph, there is a split second where I feel the breath of the universe. It’s a quiet, expansive moment more felt than heard; calming breath. ‘Elementum’ is my journey down a meditative path.” _Hendrik Paul
Hendrik Paul’s ‘Elementum’ is a handbound accordion book that captures the artist’s journey down a meditative path. Walking through a redwood forest, observing the gentle swaying of dried grass, watching the sundering illumination of lightning across the night sky, and feeling the waves crashing where the ocean meets land: the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water reveal themselves to the viewers. It is composed of 3 volumes packaged in an acrylic case and comes with a gelatin silver 4”×5” contact print.
