i have a problem called nostalgia and i don’t like it. whenever it comes, i just feel like something is screwing me over. that’s why i have to act.
The way to cure my nostalgia is anachronism. For me, this means tearing events and moments out of their seemingly secure embedding in time and re-contextualising them. For me, this happens when I create new pairs through formal aesthetic characteristics, and new narrative gestures develop that uproot the original photo and the personal and emotional aspects it brings with it.
So I am more concerned with the presentation than with the photography in this project and I search a lot and am certainly dependent on help.
photography is always there and is for me not only a documentary but rather a searching-perceiving, a groping, act. i work less on themes, rather i have developed rules that shape my gaze, my empathy and my pictorial listening; i only photograph with 50mm focal length and analogue (- so everything that happens in my personal work is analogue with a Leica M6). (I also work irregularly in the field of reproduction photography and reportage on assignments with a 5d mk IV… just sayin).
yes, let’s talk about it, shall we?!
