Description from the seller
This concerns two 30x30 cm photos from my new series Imagine. It is a visual story about a artwork, on a beach along the coast, of wooden posts. Groups of piles are fixedly anchored in the sand. Beauty created by order, yet at the same time a balancing act, on the edge between creation and destruction.
The artwork is part of the dynamic coastal landscape, ruled by sea, wind and tides, where it temporarily lends a piece of the coast in an ongoing struggle with the elements, only to disappear again.
This visual story is about the piles against the background of the ever-present sea. A calm sea, tranquil skies and wooden piles, waiting for the next confrontation with the elements. Where after high water, around a pile, a beautiful patterns of layers in the sand remains, or a hollow and sometimes a puddle of water.
But also about the light shining on the piles and changing with the rise and set of the sun, the clouds that pass by.
This visual story is about imagination, seeing the piles during the cycle of seasons, by moonlight, a starry sky, part of the infinite universe.
But also about seeing the piles in a storm, with an immensely powerful sea and clouds that loom threateningly above the beach. Then the sea and wind torment the anchored piles and put them to the test.
Along the coast, time is a relative notion; here sea, sand and wind patiently follow their own timetable. What seems eternal is here but a moment. The artwork remains standing until the sea takes back the stretch of coast.
Photographs capture what otherwise would be lost to memory. A visual story, as tangible evidence of existence.
The photos are offered in different formats and editions. The total number of views of the same image will never exceed 30. The photos are printed on Fujifilm Digital Professional DP II Lustre paper with a very fine surface texture, with a white border all around, and are therefore very suitable and easy to frame.
Both photos come with a certificate of authenticity and a label signed by the artist on the back of the photo.
The photos are carefully packaged 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.
