In urban space I see an expression of a particular society’s values regarding democracy, identity and citizenship. Public and private space are key elements of the imagined communities we call nations. These series of photographs evolving form four different photographic projects, investigate the individual’s relationship with their private habitat and the social built environment. From these two realms we construct our personal meaning of place. The private and the social realm are not segregated, of course; but the spatial ambiguity created between the personal subjectivity and social objectivity is a fertile platform to critically elaborate a psychological as well as bodily and metaphysical relationship to space. A lived in space always transcends geometry and measurability.
