As a conceptual artist I use traditional double exposure
techniques to emphasize on duality, relativity and philosophical
relativism in regard of time and space which are evident trough
the distance of places and dates of the different exposures.
In this series the political connection and disparity between
countries in the classical east/west conflicts is addressed. The
content of the images is referring to impressions reminding us
of natural resources and connected industries being the mayor
cause of the decades of conflict.
