Synopsis

"Visual Dualism" – the title of the book suggests that it is primarily concerned with forms of visual contrasts. However, in reality, it achieves a lot more since it brings us face to face with the basic constitution of human perception and its interpretation. Good pictures are not about the composition or the reproduction of motifs but about creating that freedom for interpretation wherein the observer can see and experience the represented object in newer ways, time and again. Peter Mathis presents this with masterful certainty in his photographs of the Dolomites. The dualistic principle of the chiaroscuro composition creates the focal point. He works with light and the resultant shadowed areas and their grading like a painter with his palette of paints.
