Something happens between the subject who photographs and the object. Photography – two-way street.
Beyond the automatisms of seeing, losing and “extraseeying”. Trivial objects free themselves from their function, they exist with force.
Things and situations that go unnoticed in everydaylife express themselves, look at us and hold us. They reveal themselves under a new perspective in a suspended time.
They capture more than they are captured.
“This Landscape?” is a series of photographs made in imprecise spacetime distance, in different paths. Predisposition and chance are part of these paths. Intersection, exchange, game, appearance, disappearance.
