Healing Waters

by Yves Treguer (Introduction), Linda Troeller (Photographer), Wolfgang Becker (Preface)

Healing Waters is a vivid exploration of water therapy all over the world. Linda Troeller's photographs, taken over a period of ten years, are more symbolic than descriptive; through a subtle use of color and blurred motion, these images capture the human form in communion with water, in a state of sublime, often ecstatic, immersion.

The treatments that Troeller observes, and with which she herself experiments, are the subject of these sensuous photographs, which place the viewer at the heart of a revitalizing process of rebirth and renewal, the ultimate goal of alternative water therapies. From Montecatini, Italy, to the baths of Baden-Baden, Germany, and Beppu, Japan, Troeller's photographs take the viewer on a wide-ranging and transformative journey.
