Art statement:
On my walks through cities my eyes are drawn to trivial, commonplace
situations or to remnants of human activities leaving traces in the urban landscape.
“We only see what we look at. To look is an act of choice” John Berger
Some of these are temporary like a shadow, a puddle or an unaware person. These are my “decisive moments”. Others lead their own life and in their triviality become a kind of work of art . Objects get another function or become a sculpture. There is tension between the figurative and the abstract, styling and realism.
I search for beauty in ordinary places and I like to put some humor and ironie in my work.
In this series I give a small overview of my different photographic interests
