Edge of Darkness

The artistic work of Carsten Ingemann revolves thematically around darkness, and on the state of mind it evokes in us. In a series of new photographs, Ingemann invites us on a journey to the edge of civilisation - out where our regular perceptions of the world cease to exist, and where we must give in to the unknown, uneasy, and potentially dangerous. 

In Edge of Darkness, Ingemann uses his camera as an extension of his own senses. Whether he is traveling through the American backland of Death Valley, or finds himself in well known locations, he points his camera towards the all consuming darkness of his surroundings. By using extreme long exposure, the photos reveal what cannot be seen with the naked eye. 

What the photographs offer, is a unique glimpse into an alternative dimension established by the tranquility, and silence of the night - a world of both peace and anxiety, in which hidden creatures of the night are lurking under the infinite sky.
