Chapter 1
We set out to our (current) home stream of the Wiesent as the location of our first shoot. Nestled in the heart of the Fränkische Schweiz, between the stony rock formations and tended farmland, the small chalk stream runs tranquilly through the German countryside.
The Double Vision graphic is inspired by Gyotaku printing, a traditional Japanese method of printing fish, dating back to the mid-1800s. This form of nature printing was used by fishermen to record their catches and involves the process of coating your catch in semi ink and pressing the fish onto washi paper. We chose the common carp as the fish for our first print as this has a cultural significance for the Frankonian region. The graphic is finished with our version of a Hanko stamp.
