This activity plays a significant role in his life, and observing nature and working in the garden are his main sources of inspiration. He even sometimes chooses his crops based on the still lifes he plans to create. Thus, his two passions complement and nourish each other. Just as the gardener tries to control and order nature, the artist composes an image of the world: the gardener does with his shrubs and plants what the poet does with words, assembling them in such a way that they appear new and strange, and also, as if for the first time, completely themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.germanopratines.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/INGAR-KRAUS-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.germanopratines.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/INGAR-KRAUS-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141533\" width=\"1039\" height=\"1310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.germanopratines.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/INGAR-KRAUS-5.jpg 436w, https:\/\/www.germanopratines.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/INGAR-KRAUS-5-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1039px) 100vw, 1039px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He takes his photographs in medium format, composes his still lifes in a box, and photographs them in natural light: without a studio or artificial lighting, he creates an intimate and private space, outside of time. This work evokes classical painting, which, in the light of north-facing studios, strove to meticulously transcribe the physical and spiritual presence of objects. But there is no symbolism to decipher in Ingar Krauss&#8217;s photographs; he simply invites us to savor the peaceful radiance of things, and also, thanks to his unique perspective, to appreciate their beauty in a new way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.germanopratines.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/INGAR-KRAUS-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.germanopratines.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/INGAR-KRAUS-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141531\" width=\"1036\" height=\"1295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.germanopratines.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/INGAR-KRAUS-4.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.germanopratines.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/INGAR-KRAUS-4-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1036px) 100vw, 1036px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\">April 17 &#8211; June 6, 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center\">GALERIE CAMERA OBSCURA<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\">268 Boulevard Raspail 75014 Paris<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The peaceful glow of things Ingar Krauss was born in 1965 in East Berlin.
