Submission

The act of taking a photograph for me is about embedding myself in the world – meditating on the world, seeing into it, outside it, through it, reflections, refractions, concentrations, desires – finding where and how the world exists for me. Thus I have a very basic desire to see into the world, to try to find all angles on what I see, and how layers of the world (sometimes glass, sometimes media or devices) change how we see the world. It is not a conceptual approach, but an attempt at visual non-philosophy where the complexity of the thinking is in the photograph. So, for me, these are photographs of immanence (as opposed to transcendence) – they are about the quality of being within this world. The camera, the photograph, experiences reality at one and the same time, without any duality – we as humans will usually compare our experience with a separate pre-existing reality. The photograph collapses this into an immanent oneness. The photograph is the experience – and its own reality.
