Photographic collages that transform reality into poetic illusions
The artworks point to an actuality that can be tangible and unsettlingly surreal, they defy quick reading.
Under the term "Deconstructivist Photography" I reveal new levels of perception in my multi-layered photo collages. They are emotional landscapes, reflective of internal states, evoking feelings and perceptions that resist clear definition. My collages deconstruct reality - and reconstruct it again, from an extremly subjective position that explores alternative forms of representation in a innovativ way.
In an age of increasingly virtual realities, I strive to utilize photography to contribute to a contemporary interpretation of the medium. Photography so can transcends mere representation and asserts itself as a genuine art form.
