Preten, Amt Neuhaus, is located in an open floodplain landscape, characterized by
moisture, light and the changing seasons.
Wide meadows, pollarded willows and isolated groups of trees
structure a space that is defined less by topography than by atmosphere.
In winter, snow-covered trees stand like frozen sentinels in the landscape; frozen rivers transform the terrain for a moment, as if time had stopped. At dawn, fog settles silently over the meadows, while in summer, dry areas are dotted with pollarded willows and clouds tower on the horizon.
Roswith Schomburg's photographs do not see landscape as an idyll or a mere motif. Fog, rain and flat light change the perception of the place and make it possible to experience time as a state. Her works understand landscape as a continuous observation of an everyday, sensitive space.
