Unlike many photographers, I have no desire to be a dominant figure. I don’t seek to control a space; I don’t impose myself on what I photograph. I take part in it, identify with it. For me, bringing something to light, contemplating begins with cleaning and avoiding clichés, rather than composing. After some time I came to the conclusion, the things around us, which we find in every day life can be as beautiful and exciting as foreign countries and unknown cultures. People are characterized by the landscape, they live in. Just as every landscape is modified by their inhabitants. In my work I'm looking for this mutual influence and change. The landscape, including the city landscape, continues to provide new astonishments. I like to observe and to be inspired by what I find in the simple beauty of daily things. Analog photography. 15,6 x 15,6 cm, archival pigment print, edition 1/3 + 1 AP. Frame 34 x 35 cm, museum glass.
