The exhibited series explores the quiet presence of individual trees in expansive, minimalist landscapes – often in combination with powerful celestial structures and atmospheric cloud formations. The trees become archaic forms, figures, and emotional anchors. The focus is less on the tree itself and more on the interplay of space, light, and reduction. In these compositions, trees become protagonists: symbols of tranquility, clarity, and steadfastness. Through deliberately employed emptiness, harmonious color palettes, and precise lighting, pictorial spaces emerge that are minimalist yet simultaneously possess a powerful, sometimes emotional, impact.

Kathrin Federer combines real-world motifs with digitally conceived elements, clear forms, and calm, minimalist color palettes. Her works move between reality and conceptual art – each image follows a clear internal logic in which balance, form, rhythm, and mood merge into an aesthetic narrative.

The series invites us to see nature as a designed bearer of meaning: not as a mere representation, but as a visual language and an emotionally resonant, clearly composed space for reflection. It's about reduction, precision, atmosphere – and about the question of how little or how much an image needs to have a profound impact.
