Biografia
William Wordsworth urged us to travel through landscapes in order to fulfill our soul - travelling through landscapes where man’s influence is still insignificant, not only effects our soul but also weakened the feeling of superiority over nature.
As an artist, I see nature not as a whole but as infinite fragments of individuals that perfectly fit into place. I select and record those fragments, capturing them in a certain manner so that the selected ones obtain a particular and different meaning.
At a later point in the process, through the technic of collage, by juxtaposing separate fragments, a different image is created. This final image becomes estranged from reality and closer to the imaginary world from where inspiration is drawn.
The aim is to evoke in the viewer a paradoxical sensation and to create a dialogue between the familiar and the unknown.
I work with classic negative film, mainly black and white, and print all photos myself in the darkroom.
I do not use any artificial manipulation in the process.
