I Dont Care

I passed many beautiful landscapes on my 4400km bicycle trip from Berlin to Marseille. Often I would have loved to have a person to photograph, but I was just by myself. Thats why i decided to shoot a self portrait series. Photographing myself in cycling clothing felt like just documenting the trip. So i decided to not wear clothes at all. When I selected the images at the end of the trip, I doubted if people would see somebody who is trying to move in front of the camera instead of posing for the camera, that the series could just look like a strange nudist showing pictures of himself being naked. It felt weird, though without a sexualized view of nudity it would be the most normal thing in the world. At the end, I thought that exactly that fear of being judged could be the point of this series. I think so much about how all the others could see me and barely allow myself to see who I am. I don‘t know if this series shows me. But to know if you like strawberries, you have to taste them. And I don‘t want to be afraid to taste who I am. That`s why i decided to not give a fuck! This could be me, and I don`t care.
