The walk-in mobilized camera is a simple tool to extent my perception, inside which I replace my subjectivity with the photosensitive material.
I enter the moving camera in order to resonate with the world I am living in and to maintain the rhythm of my life. While spending most of my time inside darkened chamber of the photographic camera, I develop a strong relationship with my process. The result is a pure and direct expression of my interactions with what surrounds me recorded on the sheet of photographic paper.
How is it to look at the negative in the present day of the digital era?
Even before the invention of the digital sensor, the photo negative was in the shadows, a private master from which the public photographic print was made. The almost forgotten negative is given a life of it’s own in this series of surreal photographs.
The photographs are mostly void of the architecture and the human figures that we are accustomed to seeing in a cityscape, instead they suggest a certain animated energy that can often be felt, but rarely seen. These color paper negatives represent abstracted experience of place, they stretch the fabric of time by absorbing image after image, moment after moment, and render it all into a single photograph- the Motiongraph.
