Eyeshot Book

Siegfried Hansen’s “The Flow of the Lines”

52,00€ – 229,00€

“The Flow of the Lines” is the second book by renowned street photographer Siegfried Hansen, featuring an introduction by David Gibson. Following the overwhelming success of Hansen’s first book, which has since sold out, this highly anticipated release showcases 147 captivating photos that capture the energy and vibrancy of the urban landscape. In “The Flow of the Lines”, Hansen’s ability to notice such small, quiet details, loudly celebrates the joy of graphics and absolute precision, which is indeed typical of Hansen’s love of graphic lines in urban settings.

“The Flow of the Lines” comes in two different limited-editions: White Edition (470) and Black Edition (30). The Black Edition features one unique Fine Art Photograph (30×20 cm) that has never been printed for sales before, and exclusively available through the purchasing of the book only.

The Monograph

“The Flow of the Lines”

The collection Eyeshot curated in “The Flow of the Lines” is a retrospective of sorts, mostly the tried and trusted images that Siegfried is known for. Many photographers have a unique vision, but Hansen’s seems pared back to a laser-sharp regard for lines and formula.

The Photographer’s Vision

“I like the aesthetic of lines, patterns, and shapes I strive to add a ‘second layer’ to a picture, for example by matching seemingly unconnected elements within my subjectively chosen frame”.
Siegfried Hansen
