Cold Square

Because of the polar bears, space of movement in Longyearbyen was a limited. I don't feel like carrying a gun, which would have given me more freedom. But on the other hand, it gave me a different freedom. To concentrate on a defined area. So I walked around in a cold, but colourful square.

About Artist

Dominik Gottwald

Gottwald Dominik, born in spring '92 ​2020 - master of photography 2017 - educated carpenter 2012 - educated mechatronic ​Why am I taking photos? This is a topic for which I can get up in the morning in a good mood. Colors, shapes and contrasts are great! And it's fun to play with! I've always preferred to stand barefoot in the dirt and watch birds than go to school or read the newspaper. It is my greatest joy to live in my own rhythm. Learning to allow more space for things over which we have no control is also very nice.
