Sometimes materials or images for a specific collage can be found. Other times you have
to produce them yourself, by taking pictures or making a drawing or sketch that fits in
with the vision of the collage. For this collage series I used homemade still life photo
material which I took with an analogue camera and printed myself in the dark room. The
prints were actually rejected, but I kept and eventually re-used them. This series is an
investigation about the play with 2- and 3-dimensionality by cutting out some of the photo
parts and let the light and shadow play a role in the final images.
