Finding mathematical forms within my surroundings and recreating architectural shapes with my camera into geometrical forms is a hidden passion of mine. Once I find the right object or building, the camera in my hand becomes a tool with which I compose my geometrical vision. To reach the perfect result I work with illustration software for shading, contrast and shape retrieval. I manipulate the picture so that every angle, shape and color provides the viewer with a harmonious but intricate experience.

The hands-on objects which are presented here are an assortment of three exhibitions shown in Nuremberg, Germany, under the German titles, Form & Formel (2008), Keplers Formen (2009), and Die quasiperiodischen Formen (2011).

All objects are designed and created by Uli Gaenshirt, who also provided idea and concept for the exhibitions which were realized in voluntary collaboration with the KOMM-Bildungsbereich.

Turtle geometry is applied to create complex symmetric patterns. The change of inclination angles of lines follows some prescribed rules. Lines are combined with special functions to generate colorful surroundings.
