Projects
Deconstruction-I
The demolishion of stadiums is the focus of this project. Archived photographic information of the site, ranging from days to months, is compressed into a single image, capturing various stages of deconstruction.
Portraits
Each of these portraits is a constructed image consisting of numerous photographic fragments shot somewhere between 30 to 180 minutes.
Deconstruction-II
Collapsed buildings and dismantled apartments show urban living spaces being annihilated. Various shots are merged into a single photograph.
Elemental
My inspiration is an experience of my grandmother´s struggle with Alzheimers, which led to a collapse of space and time. Manipulating the border between fiction and reality, I create my own visual truth.
Monorail
Mathematical structures and architecture define the space we move and live in. Shot from the Monorail in Sydney, a train that endlessly loops through the city, these images portrait modern city life.
Statement
My work deals with memory through a conceptual photographic process. Drawn from my interest in non-linear perception, my artistic approach is based on the deconstruction/reconstruction of space. Composed of different moments in time, I compress my archived photographic information into a single image.
