The Kastor

  • Photographer
    Oliver Lahrem

I was able to photograph the Kastor skyscraper in Frankfurt am Main in the morning under a beautiful cloud cover. I photographed the striking building in side profile, so the curve arches up like a sail. The Kastor building was named after the Dioscuri from Greek mythology and means mortal.

I am 54 years old and live in Seligenstadt, Hesse. For many years, I worked as a landscape gardener, where I was able to work creatively with nature. Due to tragic events, I can no longer pursue my profession, which gave me time to devote more intensively to photography. Initially, it was primarily while traveling and in nature that I discovered abstract and contemporary photography. With a camera, you can create beautiful, individual works of art; you just have to get involved. This doesn't happen at the push of a button, however; it happens intuitively, based on the situation.
