Along with paper boats and balloons bubble are considered one of the brightest and most positive symbols of a carefree happy childhood. They have always been associated with summer and lightness, laughter and romance. Needless to say, if today both children and adults love to have fun blowing soap bubbles through a tube. Huge, shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow, they slowly float through the air, swaying from side to side, like a goby on a dock in a well-known children's poem. The photo project of the famous German photographer is dedicated to soap bubbles Bjoern Ewers … The series of photographs is called Orbital, and for good reason. Under targeted fire from the "photographic gun", the bubbles take on completely new forms and seem to be unearthly, unreal objects, as if they came from a parallel world or a neighboring galaxy. And some look as if they themselves are unknown planets from the depths of space.
Interacting with air, the bubbles deform, shrink or stretch, and thus take unusual, and sometimes strange forms, in which you can recognize unexpected acquaintances. One bubble may look like an airship, the other - like a balloon or an airplane, like a spaceship or a flying saucer plowing the space prairies, maneuvering between asteroids, stars and diligently avoiding black holes. There are so many interesting things around, and how sad it is that some interesting things are so ghostly and short-lived, like a mirage on the horizon of an endless hot desert!
The photographs from the Orbital series serve precisely to bring about Faustian "Stop, moment!" Thanks to these pictures, we can take a closer look at the nature of soap bubbles, and you can take a closer look at other works of the talented author in his art gallery.
