Edgar Lissel treats light like a sculptor, folding it into crisp geometric shapes that seem to float off the paper. He grew up in a Berlin housing project where the concrete stairwells doubled as darkrooms, so shadows became his first medium. The Angel of the Annunciation isn’t a person but a razor-thin slice of dawn caught in glass; press your nose to the print and the wings start to hum. Tap the title to see how a photograph can cast a shadow longer than the object itself.
