‘The Enduring Beauty of Transformation’ - we present you MICHAEL HANISCH’s photographic study on the topic of beauty and transience on GoSee.News

In his photographic project, photographer MICHAEL HANISCH explores the intricate metalevels of a vehicle that is both heavily damaged and strikingly aesthetic. The subject of his study, a vandalized BMW, stands as a testament to the paradoxical beauty found in devastation.

Michael Hanisch on his project : Through the lens, we searched through the charred remnants and twisted metal, uncovering an unexpected elegance in the aftermath of the flames. The photographs do not merely capture a scene of vandalism; instead, they reveal the intricate textures, patterns, and forms that emerge from the burnt surfaces. Each image invites viewers to see beyond the initial shock of destruction, to appreciate the nuanced interplay of light and shadow on the distorted materials.

The project seeks to challenge the conventional perceptions of beauty and destruction, encouraging viewers to recognize the inherent artistry in the remnants of what once was. The scorched exterior, though seemingly marred, becomes a canvas of transformation – its surface bearing witness to the forces of heat and time, sculpting new forms and narratives.

This exploration is not intended to glorify the act of vandalism but rather about finding an enduring beauty in the aftermath. It is a meditation on the resilience of material and form, in which destruction paradoxically gives rise to new visual and conceptual dialogues. The burnt vehicle, through the lens of this project, becomes a symbol of rebirth and the perpetual cycle of decay and renewal that defines our existence. The roses, left as a gesture of mourning, remind us of the enduring presence of human compassion even in the face of ruin, enriching the narrative with a profound sense of humanity.

Together with the team at recom Berlin, we pushed the boundaries of the photographic medium and explored countless possibilities. Images were printed, torn apart and reassembled. Photos were additionally exposed on Polaroid film and then uniquely digitized.

We experimented with everything that seemed meaningful and even with what did not. The result is an extraordinary design study – multimedia in nature and deeply engaged with textual content.”
