No one captures the world through the lens like photographer Niko Luoma. He is not interested in simply documenting what is in front of his camera. Instead, he uses light to create his own visual spheres. Through the use of up to a thousand multiple exposures, he applies individual elements of color and form to the negative, layer by layer. meticuluous calculations and geometrical skills are the necessary foundation for this. The results are abstract photographs of impressive, colorful intensity and luminosity. This book of photos is based on the series Adaptations, which reproduces famous works by other artists. Luoma presents a fascinating visual game in which the independent charisma of the photographs acts in concert with its reverence toward Bacon, Hockney, Van Gogh, or Picasso. With tongue in cheek, Luoma thus realizes the avant-gardes desire to liberate photography from reproducing reality, allowing it to become an art.
