I hope we are wrong

In this series of ten sarcastic and ambiguous self-portraits, the artist rethinks the importance of his own traditions and the enforceability of a way of life that is increasingly proving untenable for him. Excessive medication use, smartphone addiction, border protection policies, religious customs, aimless increases in productivity and self-destruction are some of the issues that have been addressed. He puts himself at the center of this work and thus makes himself the target of his own criticism. With the title "I hope we are wrong", the artist tells us about the uncertainty of being on the right track. On the other hand, it leaves the door open for hope and improvement, because only those who recognize their mistakes can grow from them. The black-and-white analogue images in this series share a similar composition and have a common feature: the photographed scenarios consist of fake body parts and objects. Only the head and shoulders of the model are genuine while hands, clothes and even animals are a fake made of simple materials. The photographer plays with the perspective and the symbols to deceive the eye of the viewer.
