THE CREEK

 

THE RIME

 
 
I define myself more as a visual artist than as a photographer. My style is aesthetic, conceptual art. I use photography as a medium and deal with its specific qualities and characteristics. What is photography? Where does it start, and where does it end? Creating new works is a relatively lengthy process, in which other pieces or themes always overlap.

The series ‘The Nonexistent Areas are of Particular Interest’ is build-up like the story in a novel, where the reader receives slow, considered drips of information about a place or a planet, the reader didn’t know before. The images are points of a net, which creates a jigsaw of visual information. The different parts are evolving into a symbolic place of imagination. The issue is to create a photographic, mixed-media installation that brings a new perspective on universal themes such as control, staging, surveillance, and value. The images of this series and their presentation form quote the complexity and diversity of photography as a media.
