Description from the seller
This concerns two photos measuring 30x30 cm from my series Stills, with a limited edition. These photos are offered in different formats and editions. The total number of views of the same image will never exceed 30.
A series inspired by the work of Michael Kenna.
My series ‘Stills’ is about calm and stillness, with images that contain little to no stimuli for a deeper experience. I capture a moment by photographing it, a momentary snapshot as a ‘still’ from a film. An image without a past, an image without a future, only the present.
The photos are printed on Fujifilm Digital Professional DP II Lustre paper, which has a very fine surface texture and a white border around them, making them very suitable and easy to frame.
Both photos are supplied with a certificate of authenticity and a label with the artist's signature on the back of the photo.
The photos are carefully packed in bleached white tissue paper and flat packed between two layers of cardboard.
Seller's Story
Reality is an endless labyrinth of images. A photo makes a part of it visible and thus allows interaction between photographer and viewer.
My photography starts with an inspiring reality to which I add my imagination. In my head, reality changes into images that I want to capture in photos. Each work is a frozen moment in a story that continues to evolve.
I see beauty in powerful forms of installations and constructions and want to make it visible. I stand still and experience space, infinity, peace and quiet. The subjects and elements are different, but my need is the same, the aesthetic beauty and what I experience, feel and see reveal in photos.
Something is created that was not there before. My photos thus become an extension, but at the same time a part of reality, with my interpretation and perspective added to it, but also my feeling and experience.
Perspective, crop, use of color, disturbing elements that have to disappear. They are all parts of the choice process and means in my photography to create an image as imagined in my head, just as words create a poem and notes form music.
Reality becomes an image, an image becomes a photo, a new part of reality, ready to share with spectators with their own experience. A photo that offers space to connect from your own imagination, emotions and feelings.
Photography is autobiographical, I can't take pictures without being who I am. Each photo is a reflection of how I am and how I think and the result of the process that goes on in my head. With each new image you can see more and more of who I am, but never completely, development continues. Curious about what's to come.
