Entry Description

In the form of cables we can, nowadays, find lines in almost all our surrounding living spaces, both urband and rural. In most cases those cables are found to be ugly or are just overlooked. With our series "Lines" we wanted to take a closer look at those lines surrounding our daily lifes and did find some kind of modern, minimalistic and graphical beauty in them.

About Photographer

My photographic work deals with the points of intersection between photography and fine arts. Like a painter creates an abstraction of what he sees, I try to show a personal interpretation of reality. Using special techniques, such as over- and longexposure and working in particular light and weather conditions, (snow, fog and diffused light due to cloudy skies). I isolate abstract forms and structures from concrete objects and classical landscape scenes. Furthermore I’m interested in the poetry of the ordinary, always searching for expression in the commonly overlooked scenes that surround us
