“I use my camera as a tool to explore my subconscious mind. Introspective, capturing visual associations.
Picturing contrasts of absence and presence, of hiding and revealing.

What I am showing is part of an alienated reality. The atmosphere conveyed is not concrete and thus providing space for own projections. Non-obvious, introverted and vulnerable.

I use the medium Polaroid as it adds something abstract and unpredictable to my photographs. Image errors as well as the fragility of the medium are integral parts of my work.”

“To say an image consists of many layers sounds very obvious, but i do believe instant photography has one extra layer, which is the physical one.
Even more than film in general, polaroids are objects that you can hold.
When you see a polaroid you know the photographer, and most likely everyone appearing on it, touched it.
They passed it around and looked at it and reacted to it. It’s a fetish in the animistic sense of the word.”

“For the ‘hidden’ picture in the background only UV light was used.
This light found in the part of the spectrum invisible to the eye, was meant as a tool to look behind, to see what was hidden.
A portrait is by definition superficial, a two-dimensional representation of a person.
In order to show the person, one layer doesn’t suffice.”
