■ "Lakes & Reservoirs" by Matthew Brandt

This photo book compiles the "Lakes & Reservoirs" series, a representative work of young American photographer Matthew Brandt.

In the process of developing the photographs of lakes he took, he used lake water brought back from the site, causing a chemical reaction that distinguished the colors, resulting in works reminiscent of the abstract paintings of German artist Gerhard Richter.
