backup Photograph - Limited Edition of 1

photography-video-installation1968, work and live in Berlin, Germany - "I photograph what I do not wish to paint and I paint what I cannot photograph."- Man RayMy photographs thematize reflections and surfaces in urban spaces and in liquids. I develop a unique materiality of the image using surfaces that produce interesting light effects, such as metal foils and light boxes. The reflective surface of aluminum as a "canvas" reflects the viewer in the image. This disrupts the rigid, cool metal character of the surfaces.My large-format photographs of light-suffused and reflective water shift between objective reproduction and abstract structure. The effect of the wet surfaces and their painterly motion is dynamically heightened by the metallic reflectivity of the aluminum image medium, which shifts according to the natural light in the exhibition room and echoes waters vital, constantly changing aspect.
