(About)
My work
investigates the interrelation of phenomenology of human perception and the
unconsciousness. My practice juxtaposes
sensitivity to the surrounding one’s environment and meanings linked to the
archetypical knowledge behind it. Turning my own thinking into making, I am
using photography as an instrument to reflect on my own undersenses. Through my
practice I explore such notions as nothingness, meaning, definition,
representation and sublime. My practice equals my research, it is an attempt to
comprehend the nowness as such. In my work it is important to me to highlight
such matters as queerness, gender and mental health.
Working exclusively with photographic hand printing processes, I do relate my practice to cameraless photography, where the camera is no longer an apparatus for the photographic image creation. Light, light sensitive paper, chemistry, frames, hanging tools and storing equipment- all the materials used for photography processes - become a part of the artwork, exposing the medium inside out.
