Following her series from A Trilogy (2017), Jessica Backhaus embarked on a transformative exploration, shedding the constraints of traditional photography for the depths of abstraction. Cut Outs (2021) marked a breakthrough into a new creative phase with its innovative abstraction. In Plein Soleil, she presents a visual symphony of color, surface, and form. These images, using a complex visual language, are even more radical than before. Through minimalist compilations of reality, Backhaus crafts images that transcend the ordinary, transporting viewers into vibrant realms filled with life-affirming energy. 

Plein Soleil is nominated for the German Photo Book Prize 2024
