Concrete Photography works are pure photographs: not abstractions of the real world, but rather concretions of the pictorial possibilities contained within photography. Concrete photographs exclusively use the most elementary, innate means of the discipline, primarily light and photosensitive paper. Its works are self-reflexive, self-referential, auto-dynamic and universal. They refer only to themselves and exclusively focus on their own and self-made inner pictorial conditions. In this respect they are universally comprehensible. Concrete photographs are not a semantic medium, but esthetic objects; they are not represented, but presented, not reproduced, but produced. They are objects made of photographic material. They do not want to illustrate anything; they do not want to represent anything. They are nothing but themselves: objects referring to themselves; they are independent, authentic, autonomous, autogenic, photographs of photography. They create a new world. They are not abstractions of something, but concretize something, something new.
