Aphasia

Aphasia is a neurological defect that causes sufferers to not be able to understand the lexical meaning of language although the emontional content is not affected. From gestures and tone of voice they can surmise the truth of statements without understanding why. In my photographic work I have always been interested in the discrepancy between the objective, real meaning of objects and their visual appearance. Since I started using a digital pinhole camera, I have found a way to further simplify their appearance to make this tension even more evident. I try not to say: "that’s how things are", but rather "this is a picture that was caused by something, that for a short moment looked as though it reminded me of something".
