Kay Kaul was a student at the Staatliche Kunstakademie in D¸sseldorf, and studied for his Master’s Degree under Prof. Klaus Rinke. He worked as a freelance filmmaker and cameraman for artistic short movies, feature films and coverage. In the 1990s he developed and designed virtual realities, computer-assisted image formation as well as the required software. Since 1997, Kay Kaul has worked as a freelance artist.

His works reflect tranquillity in its purest form, the form of water, as something you can hear and sense, especially in his photographs. The artist has transformed the murmuring of the creeks and reflections of floating water drops in large-scale photographs by means of multiple exposures. He takes six photographs every two seconds and mounts each one of them together digitally. Every time he takes a shot, he uses a different colour screen; red, blue yellow, cyan, and magenta. Each colour is a single section of the colour wheel and all are joined together. The static parts of the image maintain their natural colour, whereas the moving parts produce new “colours of time", the artist relates his technique to that of a moving picture, originally derived from cinematic means. "The sum of the single shots is, in fact, more than just the lot", says Kaul who calls his new series "Chronochrome" (colours of time).
