He has digitally manipulated the submarine images he captured around the sunken boat Vandenberg (on which the Collection is exhibited), on Artificial Reef Off Key West, to create a parallel universe under water titled Vandenberg: Life Below the Surface.
The series Life Below the Surface is installed at the location of the wrecked ship. The pictures are encased between sheets of plexiglass and have a steel frame sealed with silicone to avoid the water from entering.
Andreas Franke on his work:
"In my photography I try to construct illusionistic worlds. I like to see things from a different angle and I try to create new kind of views. Thereby taking images of a sunk ship and bringing life back to the ship by filling these images with stories was always very interesting for me."
Q-rious to see how this all happened? ...The video below documents the installation of such a particular exhibition.
