A birds-eye view of human and heaven relations.
After over a decade of work and experience, Marcus Feindt gives his international debut with the refined oeuvre Airspaces, showing us the unseen of his daily life in the clouds.
Passing through deserted open spaces, travelling from pole to pole to the world’s most remote habitats, his body of work allows us a glimpse of nature’s pristine beauty.
Heavenly or not, the contrast of human and ethereal is an obvious topic of his work.
In the process, Feindt combines texture with both natural and urban perspectives, using various techniques and styles to capture natures specific peculiarities and rare and stunning vistas of the airspaces he crossed.
The resulting photographs are undoubtedly excepxtional and connect with our desire for discovery, wanderlust and the urge for freedom.

Aurora

Greenland.
Covered with snow and ice, Greenland’s craggy cliffs play their game with light and shad- ow, creating obscure figures in the endless snow.

Hope
Even in summertime, the sun only manages to rise at the horizon. With the warm light she radiates, the ice of the west coast is veiled in glowing red. A sense of hope.

Turn, Turn, Turn
Only the wind turbines give away the fact that these clouds are not clouds but spectacular early morning fog in the middle of Germany.

Heavensdoor
The sheer size of the thundercloud Cumulonimbus indicates the severe turmoil that can be caused by only passing by these giants. It is easy to lose oneself in the transient beauty and tremendous power of sky mountains.

Matterhorn
Matterhorn 4478m. He is easy to recognise through his distinctive pyramidal shape. Whilst the south wall is illuminated by sunlight, the west wall was still shadowed on this day in February 2018.

The unusual perspective of this view of Greenland’s eternal ice creates an outlandish pattern made of snow, shadow and the silence of infinite space.

A rare sight in Greenlands mountain landscape. Usually hidden, a few mountain peaks escaped the ceiling of clouds.

Sphinx
Unaware of the majestic pyramids of Gizeh, the metropolitan city of Kairo exceeds its limits towards the desert. Only the Sphinx appears to be immune to the changes in her surrounding, everlasting smiling.

The most beautiful City in the world
Also known, affectionally, to its residents as ‘the most beautiful city in the world”, my hometown Hamburg captivates me to this very day.

Sierra
Venezia
Venice - an exceptional city beau- tifully set in a lagoon, pervaded and surrounded by water. Not a plane, but the boot as means of transport en vogue.

Empire State
As old as its last name New Amsterdam is the fascination for this city, never sleeping, never failing to surprise, intimidate or to enchant.

From Russia with Love
The setting sun turns the water of the river Moskwa golden and makes it difficult to differentiate between water and the streets of winterly cold Moskow.

Cauliflower
The thunderclouds sobriquet “cauliflower cloud” cannot belie the danger her appearance is promising. Snowball-sized hail stones dancing inside the clouds before being released as rain aiming for the ground.

False Creek
With the Rocky Mountains at the horizon so close, the False Creek isolates the Centre from the more exciting areas of Vancouver City. I enjoyed this view from a seaplane, a common way to travel in Canada.
