Sweatlights (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Andreas Warren Matti was supposed to become an artist. But he decided to become a photographer. Now he is stuck in a world between art and photography. His project is called “Sweatlights”,and was inspired by a mere look at the contents of his holiday suitcase. “Just before last Christmas I was getting ready to go up to the Alps. I remembered having some warm sweatshirts stored in a suitcase. As I opened the suitcase and went through some of my winter clothes, I suddenly remember saying to myself: Cheeez, don‘t I have a lot of striped sweatshirts!” This sight shaped into a idea and he originally intended to take a picture of all the sweatshirts next to each other, lined up to their stripes. Instead, this idea evolved into a 4 day concept art project. Check out the witty adventures of Andreas’ sweatshirts!
