Void/Tomrom
In the project ‘Void’, I explore our relationship with photography’s framework - “the selective gaze” - through a respect and fascination for the unmanageable and incomprehensible diversity of the visible world. By questioning whether photographs function as an imprint of the external and natural world, or a pictorial expression of emotions and thought about object or environment, I try to grasp the process of capturing the unexpected varied expression and creating a relationship between seeing and understanding. For me it's about exploring internal processes in the captured moment and trying to consciously work to register what I actually saw.
Through semi-abstract images of everyday urban constructions, I try to reduce, or emphasise, information about the surroundings to only be about the present moment, the here and now. This meditation about the presence is an attempt to encapsulate and immerse myself in inner processes through the photographic experience.
