title
Anatta
Change is part of our human nature. Personalities change by little occasions. A new person entering a room will influence the social interaction of the group. A single experience may change our perception or behavior. We - or what we define as our „self“ - changes depending on age, occasions, challenges, people surrounding us, etc. The series „Anatta“ adresses the matter of constant change, referring to the buddhist understanding of the „non-self“ which means that there is no unchanging, permanent self. What is normally regarded as "self" is thus a collection of constantly changing, physical and psychological components. If we are aware of this phenomenon and welcome change as a part of our nature instead of fighting it we may develop in a positive sense.
Limited Edition 1/12
Year 2017

Since 2012 Bree teaches for the masterclass of the „Austrian Academy of Photography“ two times a year. In summer Bree lives on a sailboat in the mediterranean, expanding her artworks and working on her next book. She is a passionate image creator since 17 years.
LONG TIME PROJECT
Within her project „passionate about“ Bree portrays inspiring personalities from science and art including CERN Director General Fabiola Gianotti, Nobel-Price Winner Prof. Jack Steinberger, Dancers from the Vienna State Opera, and many more.
PERSONAL
I have always been an observer. Photography made me a reflective and analytic person too. I passionately love to create with light and in case something can be produced without Photoshop I will do so, as this is what I understand as mastery of the basics.
MOTIVATION
I hope to encourage people to look deeper. It seems important to me that my art affects the viewer in a positive way, because – as Richard Avedon mentioned – images of the bad, the ugly, the violating only bring up more of the same.
