Talk by Jonathan Miles Saturday 23rd October 4pm

DOMOBAAL is delighted to host Daniel Gustav Cramer's first London solo exhibition, which is to be accompanied by a book written by Jonathan Miles for this exhibition, published by domoBaal editions.

"This is an art that contains its own reserve. Its pulse is slow; its visual rhythm is sustained within this reserve that beckons us to follow its inward trail. Flickers of slight suspend in dew, shadow is held in recesses, a stilling announcing its coming and then a breeze awakening the order of leaves again. All might be the gentlest manifestations of the visible, and yet a more tumultuous uprising is contained within these things. These photographs were taken in a manner that opens an unexpected encounter between care and vision. This is a mode of primal dialogue captured between the slowing of breaths as they hang within the dappled light that picks out the tiniest events that mark a moment. Hegel wrote in The Science of Logic that "pure seeing is a seeing of nothing," and it is within this seeing of nothing that the tumultuous arises."

Jonathan Miles (extracted from Vapours Forests: The Art of Daniel Gustav Cramer London, October 2004, published by domoBaal editions)
