Straight Photography with a personal view
Since the early 80's I have developed my artistic documentary photography in tension between commissioned and independent productions in the contexts of media and art. My work is connected to the question of the individuality of a human being. It explores the relationship between the individual presenting his / her personality and the society to which he / she presents it.
Method of working
My photography primarily intends to translate an individual impulse on life into images. Working with photography's ability to document, I transform views and impressions which I perceive into single photographs that aim to reflect on universal human experiences through a sequenced accumulation. The significance of each image is the result of a long-term working process. During these periods of intensive artistic research and reflection I make myself sensitive to the atmosphere characteristic of each subject.
Sequence as IMAGE
The successive combination of single pictures reveals the understanding of the IMAGE as a singular object within a sequenced, fragmented combination of photographs conveying a more complex understanding of reality. The panoramic presentation becomes the IMAGE. About my photography .I. SEEING AND BELIEVING
