PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Willi Filz speaks a very autonomous photographic visual language. The focal points of his free work are the landscape, the portrait and people in general. His sharp-eyed pictures take a look at people of all ages unpathetically and without attitudes. The landscape, social or age-related context appears discreet and almost incidental, but is an element of characterisation. His landscapes, too, are of a special power of observation and sensibility, foreshadowing the whole in the detail. Whether in colour or black and white, they always get to the heart of the matter and connect the individual with the general.
