About The Artwork

Archival Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag, Unframed, Signed Limited Edition Print, Numbered Certificate of Authenticity, Edition limited to 5 (plus two artist prints). The Shinkansen train is a symbol for high-tech Japan and for speed more generally. Fast transport like this, as well as communication media, have been described as de-spatialising our experience of the world. We are making connections without taking in the 'in-between', slicing through space and time. By photographing from the moving train, I am attempting to get back some of the lost spaces. The results are views that are only possible to see from the train and uniquely taken at an unrepeatable moment in my journey. The foreground blurs while the background retains clear focus. Each shot allows the careful inspection of what otherwise passes unnoticed.

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.
