ドミニク・ヒルデブラント
ドミニク・ヒルデブラントは、ノスタルジアを美学へと昇華させ、スポーツカーとスカンジナビアの風景への写真によるラブレターを制作しています。シュトゥットガルト近郊で生まれ育った彼は、印刷工の見習い時代に自身の芸術的才能を発見し、光、遠近法、そしてグラフィックの精密さへの強い関心が芽生え始めました。
彼の作品は自動車の世界を出発点とすることが多く、ポルシェ 911 SC タルガは単なる乗り物ではなく、自由、存在感、そして時の流れの象徴となっています。
それぞれの作品は、ドキュメンタリーと詩情を巧みに融合させています。版画と視覚メディアを専門とする彼の経歴は、写真のシャープさ、色彩バランス、そして遠近法に見事に反映されています。同時に、捉えられたすべての瞬間は、テールランプの輝き、夕暮れの薄暮、そして道のリズムの間で繰り広げられる静かな物語のように、自然のままに表現されています。
Dominik Hildebrandt
Photography Where Automotive Culture Meets Poetic Landscapes.
Dominik Hildebrandt is a German photographer whose work transforms classic cars, nostalgia and scenic environments into visually poetic compositions. Born near Stuttgart, he developed his artistic sensibility through an apprenticeship in printing and later studies in visual media, cultivating a fascination with light, perspective and colour that defines his photographic vision.
At Mankovsky Gallery, Dominik Hildebrandt is presented as part of our focus on contemporary photographers who combine technical mastery with emotional resonance. Each print captures a fleeting moment of beauty, where machine and landscape meet in quiet harmony.
A Visual Dialogue Between Machine and Nature
Hildebrandt’s photography creates a dialogue between mechanical precision and natural serenity. Sleek automotive forms, such as the Porsche 911 SC Targa, are juxtaposed against tranquil Scandinavian roads, open horizons and soft Nordic light. The interplay of polished metal and natural landscapes evokes reflection, presence and the fleeting poetry of everyday motion.
Each image balances the immediacy of street-level observation with the elegance of cinematic composition, offering viewers a sense of place, movement and narrative.
