"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.
