Figur im Naumburger Dom mit drei Buchstaben... sicher haben das die meisten schon mal in einem Kreuzworträtsel beantwortet ;-)))
Aber wer ist diese Uta, wie sieht sie aus und in welchem Kontext steht sie in den heiligen Hallen?
Hier ist die Antwort!
Natürlich von Wiki ;-)))
Die "Uta von Naumburg" genannte Statue ist eines der bedeutendsten plastischen Bildwerke der deutschen Gotik. Die farbig gefasste Steinfigur wurde Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts vom so genannten Naumburger Meister geschaffen und befindet sich im durch den Lettner abgetrennten Westchor des Naumburger Doms. Es handelt sich um eine der zwölf Stifterfiguren einer frühen Kapelle, um die der neue Dom im 13. Jahrhundert gebaut wurde.
Die zu dieser Zeit bereits seit über zweihundert Jahren verstorbenen Kirchenstifter stehen als großartig individuell charakterisierte Persönlichkeiten in einem Halbkreis zusammen. Die künstlerische Sprache ist der Höhepunkt einer Entwicklung, die in Deutschland um 1200 einsetzte und bestrebt war, die schablonenhafte Typenhaftigkeit der Romanik zu überwinden, und zwar vor allem durch Steigerung individueller Merkmale, besonders durch die Bewegung der Figuren. All das findet in den Naumburger Stifterfiguren seinen krönenden Abschluss. Zu der für ihre Zeit revolutionären Idee, im besonderen Bereich des Chores nicht heilige, sondern weltliche Personen darzustellen, kommt die neue künstlerische Form.
die singuläre, völlig neuartige Gestalt der Uta wurde in der Kunstgeschichte als eine der genialsten Schöpfungen der deutschen Bildhauerkunst berühmt. Der bis zur halben Gesichtshöhe schützend hochgezogene Mantelkragen, der von innen durch die rechte Hand gehalten wird und von dem aus lange, senkrecht bis zum Boden hinunter sinkende Gewandfalten ausgehen, während die linke Hand wie zur eigenen Sicherung den anderen Mantelteil an sich zieht und damit ein wunderbares Bewegungsmotiv schafft, all das war als psychologisches Motiv neu und brachte schlagartig eine neue seelische Grundsituation in die deutsche Plastik ein: die schutzsuchende edle Frau, die noch in der Handlung der eigenen Absicherung nach außen absolute Souveränität ausstrahlt.

This assignment was particularly difficult for me since the artist has a very abstract body of work focusing on abstract interiors and a great many out of focus scenes. One hallmark of her style is compositionally correct images without a clear subject.
I took several attempts at out of focus images but felt quite uncomfortable with them so settled on an abstract interior.
She has a series of images that depict abstract corners of her house in different lighting through the day and through the year... so I got my tripod our and pointed the camera at an angle at the ceiling in our living room. A corner, a sunken light and a dreamweaver in a long exposure (1/8 at F13 with my 50mm prime).
I like the balance between the two objects in the image and the dividing diagonal. This is where he images took me.
Post processing involved a slight gradient to emphasize the shadow on the right and a little levels adjustment and white balance.

The 12 donor sculptures (Stifterfiguren) of Naumburg Cathedral are the best-known works of early Gothic art in Germany. These life-size sculptures are very realistic and show fine details quite in contrast to the rough, idealized nature of other sculptures of the period.
The serene Uta von Ballenstedt is by far the most famous of these sculptures. She became almost a cult figure of Gothic art and is sometimes described as the most-beautiful woman of the middle ages.
Naumburg Cathedral (Naumburger Dom St Peter und St Paul) is a Romanesque-Gothic masterpiece in the state Saxony-Anhalt in the geographical center of eastern Germany. The church is particularly famous for the architectural and sculpted masterpieces by the Master of Naumburg that are some of the most important early Gothic monuments in Germany. It is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage listed site since 2018.

FrontRunner trains is the main heavy rail system in Salt Lake City and is operated by the Utah Transport Authority. The FrontRunner service uses a Cab Car operation to avoid running locomotives around the train at destinations when heading southbound. In frame, powering FrontRunner locomotive no.4 trails a southbound Promo service after departing North Temple station.
From memory this was the only sunny day on the 3 day trip to SLC so I was happy to finally get around to grabbing a sunny photo of some city buildings, mountain landscape and train in the one shot!
From protests in the past that saved much of the Tasmanian old native forests, issues closer to home are tending to take up our attention these days. In this case Hobartians have a legitimate concern to save the historic Sandy Bay campus of the University of Tasmania.
The very definition of a "uni-versity" is that students and faculty from a wide range of professional backgrounds can intermingle, share ideas and learn from each other on the ONE campus. But the postmodern de-unified varsity is a very different beast. Most courses are now taught online. Students are actively discouraged from attending on campus (the pandemic was a good excuse to make this happen). The plan from the UTAS hierarchy is to move all the various faculties into the Hobart CBD in buildings spread all over the city and to sell off the rich Sandy Bay site for housing developments (as Gomer Pyle would have said, "Surprise, surprise!"). A similar plan is taking place at the Launceston campus as well.
Like most things these days we are not so much seeing the birth of great ideas as much as the death of old ones that have forged the very foundations of our civilization.

w/o after bomb explosion 19.09.1989
On Tuesday, 19.09.1989 the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft took off from N'Djamena International Airport at 13:13. as UTA flight 772 to Paris Charles-de-Gaulle airport. Forty-six minutes later, at its cruising altitude of 10,700 metres (35,100 ft), a suitcase bomb exploded in the cargo hold, causing the aircraft to break up over the Sahara 450 kilometres (280 mi) east of Agadez in the southern Ténéré of Niger. The explosion scattered debris over hundreds of square miles of desert. All 156 passengers and 14 crew members died.
My Leica IIIf 35mm Rangefinder visits the University of Tasmania Waterworth Collection.
The camera wears a rare 2 Inch rangefinder coupled Waterworth Centaur f/3.5 lens manufactured in Hobart, Tasmania.
The Linhof tripod the camera is set on was gifted to me by friend of its late owner, (the person who bequeathed the Waterworth collection to the University of Tasmania). Thus, lens and tripod were temporarily re-united.
I was permitted to attach the Centaur to my Leica and take a few images of the collection with the lens, which was greatly appreciated. When was the last time a Centaur lens was used for Leica photography, I wonder?
