Description
“Humanscapes”
As an artist, I am interested in capturing those elusive images that
dreams are made of. My works emerge out of a form of human encounter and
not a technical one. They are not photographic montages that are assembled
from constituent elements, but the whole image, that includes number of
layers, each of it aims to represent another side of the objects, but
never quite revealing their meaning.
My photo archive contains the seeds from which my images grow. Before
starting the computer manipulation, I ponder this archive, seeking fresh
and innovative juxtapositions that expand the possibilities of the initial
subject matter and surpasses the boundaries of ordinary experience. It is
my conviction that the whole process of image creation, from camera
shooting to darkroom or computer manipulation, is capable of being, in the
truest sense, a visual research lab a place for discovery, observation,
and meditation. Ultimately, my task is to amaze the watcher.
It is very important to me to maintain a continual open dialogue with my
materials and process; that I am constantly questioning and in turn being
questioned, otherwise the entire process becomes a prescribed ritual that
does not allow for spontaneous variations and reactions and vitality of
the medium and my relation to it suffers.
I aim to combat visual mediocrity and try to challenge the boundaries of
photography by exploring the darkroom or computer worlds of the cameraless
image, the negative sandwich, multiple printings, double exposure, the
expended tonal scale, etc.
My images are personal but I sincerely hope that they have significant
implications for others to inspire them to seek out their own "humanscapes".
The final result must be as if one theme shines through another, acquiring
fresh nuances while preserving and strengthening the traces of its origin,
causing everything to be more real, more alive than in real life. |
