Rolf Sachs is perhaps best known for the surreal furniture and set design that comes out of his London studio, but the Swiss-born artist and designer also experiments with photography. An exhibition of large-scale new photographs at the Leica Gallery in Salzburg opening on Friday sees him return to the wintery landscapes he first captured in 2004. For Camera in Motion Sachs travelled the length of a century-old railway line that runs between Chur in Switzerland and ends in Tirano in Italy, capturing the dramatic alpine scenery from the window of the moving train. The blurred, almost painterly images that result are poised between the abstract and the figurative, and force the eye to constantly question itself.
