Mueller took his cue from the location’s classical Chinese architecture and the garden’s timeless quality. Taking Hong Kong superstar, Kay Tse as his muse, Mueller produced a series of visually intoxicating shoots, employing lustrous colour, specially made couture and captivating compositions. The images employ clean lines, symmetrical layers, textures and objects. From a distance the works seem static and symmetrical, however, on closer inspection, asymmetrical elements emerge creating an element of movement but yet maintaining a careful balance between distortion and clarity. The works are alternately vintage and contemporary in feel, and seemingly sit outside time and space.
