Captures of Infinity

The series »Captures of Infinity« was shot in May 2023 in the surroundings of my hometown Berlin with my daughter Guadalupe as the model, using MiNT SRL670 camera and new Polaroid sx70 colour film. The project reflects my everlasting attempt to capture and preserve brief, fugitive moments of greatness and beauty. It is about intense, almost mesmerising, yet volatile fragments of life that evoke a feeling of nostalgia, best comprehended by the German concept of »Sehnsucht« – a deep, emotional, almost painful, longing or yearning for something. A feeling that comes along with a desire to experience utopian, alternative realities beyond transiency and incompleteness. This series in specific is about the longing for a deep connection with nature and a feeling of blissful oneness. A single, carefully selected fragment of life – encapsulated in the frame of a picture – is suspended in time, enhanced in its glow, sublimised. Beyond its original concreteness, it becomes something imaginary and unlimited, a projection space for the imagination of the beholder, a catalyst for emotions, memories, sometimes hidden desires – like a glimpse into Infinity.
