De Ruijter (Netherlands, 1961) photographs with the aid of cameras mounted under kites. He operates the shutter electronically from the ground; he has no control over the framing, lighting, or the 'decisive moment'. His photographs have visual relations to both aerial photographs and close-ups. There is no horizon. Left and right, high and low, dimensions and scale, top and bottom: all cease to exist. In the world of his photographs the laws and certitudes of ordinary seeing are cancelled out.

Freed from what he terms 'the limitations of ground-floor photography', he wanders through the landscape, the wind at his back. Because of his manner of working, the results are often unpredictable. 'I can do nothing more than make educated guesses within the triangle of my eyes, the kite and a point on the ground.'
