"It is an illusion that photos are taken with a camera... they are taken with the eye, the heart and the head."
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Frank Schasse ist Architekt und seit seiner Studienzeit der Fotografie verbunden. Beide Disziplinen entspringen derselben Suche: dem Versuch, Raum, Licht und Wahrnehmung in eine Form zu bringen, die über das rein Sichtbare hinausweist.

For him, photography is far more than the capture of a moment. It is an act of seeing – and, at the same time, of realisation. It is only through conscious observation that the world begins to transform. What is seen detaches itself from its mere reality and becomes a new image in which memory, mood, emotion and imagination merge. This gives rise to a reality of its own, which allows us to glimpse not so much the object itself as its very essence.

Photography thus becomes a philosophical dialogue between reality and imagination, between the visible and the hidden. Making the invisible visible, allowing the familiar to be experienced anew, and inviting the viewer to transcend the limits of their own perception – for Frank Schasse, this is where the particular appeal of his photographic work lies.
