by Lou Jacobson, photography critic, for Washington City Paper Excerpt: 4. “One View—Ten Years” at Adamson Gallery Neither the idea of photographing the horizon line between sea and sky, nor the idea of returning periodically to the same location to capture how it looks under different atmospheric conditions, is especially original. Yet Renate Aller succeeded [...]

From GEO Magazin Germany The Photographs of Renate Aller Show the Atlantic as the Mirror of the Soul English Translation In vain one searches in Renate Aller’s Oceanscapes for boats, navigation marks or birds. She has consciously omitted “themes” in the traditional sense. Even the perspective is always the same. Over a period of ten [...]

A decade ago, the photographer Renate Aller had just moved from London to an oceanfront home in Westhampton Beach.
One day, she was moved to photograph the Atlantic Ocean. She liked the subject and so she decided to make more photos of the same view, again and again over 10 years, until the practice evolved into the longest project of her career—an exploration of waves, sky, horizon and time that she recently compiled into a book, “Oceanscapes: One View. Ten Years.”
“I just sort of carried on,” she said. “But I did realize that it was the project that anchored me. It actually helped me to arrive in this country because of its nature.”
