29.01.2026 - 08.03.2026

In his project Transcendental Tranquility, photographer Dirk Roseport brings us seascapes, stripped down to their essence: water, horizon and sky. What we then see, however, is much more. 
Over the years, Transcendental Tranquility has become an essentially endless series of unique, emotionally charged images. Images that often look more like a painting than a photograph, each inviting repeated viewing.
The different layers we then discover radiate an intriguing stillness. With alienation techniques, repetition and uncontrolled motion blur Roseport creates images that offer room for reflection and interpretation. Moments frozen in time, moving again the longer we look, as if it were a movie, creating a new reality. Increasingly, the oceans he photographs become Rothkosian color impressions. 
Roseport on his work: "In a way - especially in my more recent work - I don't even photograph seascapes anymore, but use water, horizon and sky to paint an abstract scene that creates space for a meditative experience. My concern, in these hectic times, is to create a scene that induces a state of calm, in which what is perceived as troublesome in the psyche falls away."
In times of often rampant manipulation of images, Roseport swears by the authenticity of his images. What we see is what he records with the camera at the moment of shooting.
