"Untitled City and Body for $20 Each", 1-8
This series of digital color miniatures presents a departure from the persistent black & white style I am more known for. It is a consequence of an unaware transition from 35 mm film to a small digital camera that I was able to carry around wherever jobs & life sent me the last few years. Therefore it is a response to the lifestyle, to the environment, and circumstances - and a response that one way or the other, using some blind natural force, strives to maintain the significance and emotional content of Image despite its changing form.

I heavily depend on intuitive and subconscious perception, because the most important of what we are trying to reach exists before words, thoughts and rational ideas. For that reason, my images have always been decidedly anti-conceptual, purely spontaneous in character. Nothing here refers to anything else, and there is no story behind it apart from that very background trivia from the previous paragraph. They are also known as Images of Nothing - small digital images of nothing, in this appearance. Images that display some particular affection towards not showing too much, avoiding the obvious focus on a particular material object. As if the essence lays in the space around something which we don't really see, image communicates as a whole, through its every tone and composition detail.

In an effort to make these works available to everybody, I have always tried to offer them at a buyable price. This time, even though the exhibit is declared as non-selling, these photographs are available at $20 each. I want you to take them home. All are digitally printed in small limited editions, and archival tested to last more than 100 years.
