Jonas Wyssen interessiert sich für die Poesie des Alltäglichen und die plötzliche Öffnung von Transzendenz im profanen Raum. Die Arbeiten thematisieren Vergänglichkeit, Spiegelung und die Fragilität von Momenten, in denen das Gewöhnliche für einen kurzen Augenblick das Außerordentliche preisgibt. Durch die intensive digitale Bearbeitung verstärkt er diese magische Qualität und macht sichtbar, wie digitale Technologie helfen kann, die verborgene Schönheit der realen Welt noch intensiver erlebbar zu machen.
The series Puddles & Portals presents puddles on asphalt as unexpected portals into another reality. Jonas Wyssen photographs these fleeting reflections of sky, clouds and light that form after rain in urban environments. What at first appears to be ordinary ground puddles becomes, through precise composition and intensive post-processing, gateways that draw the gaze into a parallel, almost cosmic dimension. The puddle turns into a portal — an interface between everyday life and something greater.
Jonas Wyssen is interested in the poetry of the ordinary and the sudden opening of transcendence in profane space. The works explore transience, reflection and the fragility of moments in which the mundane reveals the extraordinary for a brief instant. Through intensive digital processing, he enhances this magical quality and makes visible how digital technology can help render the hidden beauty of the real world even more intensely experienceable.
