Operating as a supreme statement of international contemporary conceptual photography, this unique creation deliberately rejects commercial clean-cut staging to establish an authoritative tactile dialogue between the human silhouette and organic matter. The composition features a stylized female figure against a deeply saturated red magenta backdrop, her bare shoulders and chest frosted in fine sand and dark soil. Over her torso, a precise configuration of dried branches and delicate dehydrated flowers forms a physical lung structure, transforming the body into a visual vessel that explores the tones of human breathing and existential friction.
Series 'Farbtöne' - hues of colour, tones of life.Each artwork of the series shows a story, a tone, an element of existence in this world. There are countless shades to it. The images are just a selection of some. An idea being conveyed.

Originally from Austria, Michaela Haider found her expression in photography at an early age. Drawing inspiration for her early works from the fields and forests, streams and rivers of the region she grew up in. After studying chemistry in Graz, Helsinki and Berlin, the scientific perspective provided even deeper insights into the unifying element of her work — the relationship between the human form and nature, and the materialistic aspect of both.
Her images depict staged worlds that pose and explore the question of this relationship from the human perspective.
Haider's works have been exhibited in Austria, Germany, Spain, and Finland.
