Rut Blees luxemberg is a German Photographer, who takes long exposure of urban, gritty landscapes at night. She brings to life everything that may have been forgotten or overlooked, such as puddles, rubbish, blocks of flats. These mundane and boring subjects somehow become so attractive through the lens Rut Blees Luxemberg. Her composition and framing of some spaces, opens up the fact that everyone looks at space differently. There are thousands of people who walk through Hackney, east London (which is where she took a series of photos), who don’t even notice or acknowledge these beautiful spaces right in front of them. Blees Luxemberg recognizes herself that her location is key, I quote “from the places, most definitely. It’s hard for me to photograph places where I don’t get the feeling or relation”. This is from an interview that I read. Also there is no people in any of her photos, which is a key element in her photos, it makes the photos what they are. It persuades the viewer mind wonder, its sets up the photos to be questioned, the photos long to have a storyline put to them, and each person will have their own personal narrative to go with the photos.
