Although
the fascination for the sea is all too human the artist realized at
some point that it is almost exclusively men who stand in prominent
poses at the shore overlooking the ocean.

Alone. Eye to eye with the
force of nature. Defying the vast. Yearningly. Or confrontingly?

Wagner didn’t find an answer to this phenomenon and showed the pictures to
various experts asking them for their opinion: behaviorists, gender
experts, psychologists. But also an astronaut, pastors, a
mountaineer, a yoga teacher, a lighthouse keeper and a lot more. Each
one of them had their very own, fascinating interpretation of the men
at the water‘s edge and the effects of its breadth, its
contemplation and endlessness in general.
BIOGRAPHY
Lars
Wagner, born in 1977, works as a freelance writer in Berlin. And when
he's not writing, he is carrying a camera. He prefers to capture
unspectacular and casual moments of everyday life, which usually tell
us a lot about our lives - like the men standing by the sea.
