Sehnsucht (n.) “The inconsolable longing in the human heart for we know not what”; a yearning for a far, familiar, non-earthly land to call home.
I'm a photographer student based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The series Sehnsucht were created by photographing fragments of organic and non-organic materials. These fragments were the building blocks for an univers that exist only in my mind, in between imagination and reality.
The series Sehnsucht are results of an ongoing investigation of using shapes and textures extracted from mundane objects and materials to construct dystopian landscapes of a forlorn world. While the materials used are stripped from their original context, they give the works a tactile quality and uncanny ‘realness’, blurring the lines between the familiar and fiction.
Desolate landscapes and distant horizons. Only a few souls are left; seeking answers that cannot be found. Sehnsucht is an eerily quiet meditation on abandonment and hope.
