His immersive approach characterizes a work that is primarily interested in nature and our perception of it.
Living things, nature, water, air, light, fire, what perceptions do we have of our environment, what is our relationship to the sensible world? Everything is metamorphosis, impermanence. American photographer Terri Weifenbach acutely observes the perpetual changes of a nature that we often neglect: her lens captures the tiny variations of light, humidity, and suffocation. The clouds thicken, take on golden hues, the plant world rustles, laden with humidity, the animal presence is revealed in the hollow of a wood: nature in Terri Weifenbach's work is perceived surreptitiously. Taken in the forest of Fontainebleau, in the gardens of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, in Japan in the parks of Nara and Mishima, in the Rocky Mountains and vast plains of Montana and Wyoming or in the salt marshes of Saint-Catherine Island, in Georgia, his images reveal an immanent nature, which reveals its mysteries provided that we approach it with attention and curiosity. The photographic gesture becomes perception.
Holder of a research grant, which opened the doors to the prestigious American laboratory ARM (Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Research) where particles present in the air, the size of clouds, the fractions of sky covered by cirrus clouds, the height of the cloud ceiling, solar radiation on the Earth's surface and even the density of rainfall are measured, Terri Weifenbach works in counterpoint to the scientific instruments that measure the immaterial. Her images immerse us in a fragile and mysterious nature, where only sensory experience and our visual and intuitive perception give us access to reality.
