About The Artwork

Archival Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag, Unframed, Signed Limited Edition Print, Numbered Certificate of Authenticity, Edition limited to 5 (plus 2 artist prints). The Icelandic glacier Mýrdalsjökull covers the Katla volcano on the southern shores of the island. The influence on this landscape of the interaction between glacier and volcano is observed from two distinct vantage points here. The Sólheimajökull glacial tongue extends furthest west from the main glacier and it seems to struggle with the surrounding mountains. The ice is covered in volcanic ash, and the occasional boulder can be seen lying on the frozen water. A landscape in slow motion transformation. Around 40km to the East lies Mýrdalssandur, a vast area of volcanic ash leading all the way to the beach. Periodic eruptions of Katla cause catastrophic floods of water and volcanic ash washing this area flat. A few outcrops are holding out, as if nothing had ever happened.

I make photographs. My subject is the cultural context of landscape and architecture. I am particularly interested in the traces we humans leave in our environment. Those are created indirectly through our global influence and at the same time directly through the local design of our surroundings. Although there are rarely any people in my photographs, they are always part of what is depicted as invisible agents. My works are created as project series on a specific theme. My thematic focus develops in the examination of a place, whether it is a landscape, an urban area or a building. For the project work I use an ethnographic approach focused on observation. Photographs are created in the repeated photographic examination of the physical place, whereby I draw on a view trained by my studies of architecture. With the parallel research of the background of the observed landscape I can give my projects the necessary context in accompanying texts. The outcome is a series of reflective images that approach a certain aspect of a place. I work out the photographs in my studio and often superimpose several digital files in one photograph to maintain better control over the quality of the presentation. Making my own pigment prints is an important part of my practice and up to a certain size I produce my works in signed editions myself.
