2005-6 40*80 cm |
|
After getting rid of a serious disease, disturbing images of that hard period,
fully engaged my mind for a long time, so much so that I finally decided to
face it once more; but this time absolutely on purpose !
the "untitled" series (self-portrait) 2005-6 is the outcome of this confrontation.

I have been always thinking to photograph through the windows of my room and in this way present also myself in the images.
this series is the result of this thought. |
Untitled 2 (series)
2004 print on photo paper 40*60 cm |
|
For me photography is a suspence between being seen and not seen.I would say simply,although the camera is a media to reflect reality, it is a media to conceal many of the realities around me.
