ARTIST STATEMENT "Deconstuctivist Photography"
Central to my artistic philosophy is the belief that reality is inherently subjective. My works aim to generate uncertainty and doubt about reality. The digital merging of various motifs, the overpainting, blurring, doubling, or the simultaneous play with negative and positive representations are design tools that question the naturalism of the image. If what is depicted is no longer real, attention can shift to the content. My photo collages become memories and visions. I focus on subjective perceptions and feelings that elude superficial tangibility. This allows for transcendent content—a prerequisite for creating a space transcending mere reality. My art invites the viewer into a space of uncertainty and transformation, where clarity is traded for curiosity and familiary is fractured into poetic ambiguity.
I define my work as "Deconstructivist Photography". My conceptual methode for an experimental approach in artistic photography that involves critical questioning and dissolving of the perceived reality. Things are not as they appear. Our perception of reality is inherently subjective, sharpened by a complex web of experiences and beliefs we have accumulated throughout our lives. Photographic deconstructivism rigorously explores this theme, challenging established perceptions and representations within the medium. Reality is not simply deconstructed; it is reconstructed in innovative ways, forcing a dynamic interplay of deconstruction and construction that leads to the profound dissolution of the booth. This process is aking to concepts of quantum physics, where destructive interference results in the cancellation of two different waves. When this deconstruction of reality succeeds, it brings forth the "unrepresented" as something fluid and dynamic-process of becoming rather than a fixed identity. In this light, photography transcendence is a mere representation and asserts as a genuine art form, that allows a radically subjective representation of the world.
