The project explores the interplay between nature’s continuous process of increasing entropy in natural systems. Human interventions act as an opposing stream, with various levels of significance. This creates a tension between order and chaos, observable on surfaces of surrounding objects. It is paradoxical that from an anthropocentric view, nature strives for chaos, while exactly human is the one who often creates it. Corrosion is, for example, one very common paint, used by time for creating its slow paintings and sculptures.
If we step back far enough and look at the world with a large enough temporal scale, human activities become tiny and insignificant.
The photographs were taken at anonymous locations, non-places containing in-between objects. They were made with an ephemeral mindset, at which, for example, a hundred-year-old abandoned ruin, doesn’t differ much from a new build house - a new future ruin. Using approaches with different levels of subtleness, this work is an attempt of observing and imaging our surroundings as a temporal state.
This is my main long-term ongoing project. The work currently contains around 100 selected photographs, making several sub-series.
Some photographs were published in different photography journals, were part of group exhibitions. The final goal of the project is to create a Surfaces photo book.
