This months' featured exhibition is titled 'Making the Impoiissible Possible' by Marcel Egger

Marcel quotes : "If I had to introduce myself in one sentence it would be like this: „As a photographer I am always looking for the perfect photo. The hunter in me wants to capture it for eternity, the graphic designer wants to work out the perfection of the moment, and the artist wants to turn it into a work of art.”

A few years ago, the magic of composites was exciting Marcel and still captivates him till today. He wanted to do more than just taking pictures. His goal was to amaze, to make think, smile and surprise the viewer. In his world everything is possible. The only limits are those of his imagination.

So, he started to learn the techniques of image processing. Over the years his skills have gotten better and better. Many photographers have the opinion that composites don't have anything to do with photography. But nowadays every photographer uses programs to develop and push up their RAW files in the drafting process. The photo manipulation begins with the punching of unwanted lines to the removal of disturbing parts of the image. But he agrees : composites have nearly nothing to do with photography, it is an artistic processing of photos and is therefore called art photography. Marcel therefore feel like an artist and not a craftsman.
