Conceptual nominee

The "Railway Series" takes up the theme of "railroads" and "being on the move" from different angles. The focus is on the aspect of travel itself, being on the move, movement, blurriness and fleeting encounters. But also the desire to move forward and the associated lack of interest in what is outside the train, outside the compartment. And yet it is worth pausing and paying attention to what is happening "outside". This brief pause is achieved in the "Movements" shown here by means of serial shots with the camera, whereby the barely recognizable, that which passes by in a matter of seconds, is broken up, dissected and thus made visible. 1, 3, 5 or 10 seconds are captured on film and break up the blurred image into concrete snapshots. Suddenly the viewer becomes aware of the often prevailing monotony on the one hand and the incredible diversity that can be seen in a few seconds but can only be presented with the help of the camera on the other.

While the unremarkable often becomes the subject of contemplation in my work, I try to direct the eye and mind beyond the obvious. I work documentarily or interpretatively, whereby my photographs reflect true nature or the abstract, the seen or the experienced, appear in color or black and white and the image is processed during or after the shooting, camera and computer are working tools similar to a painter's brush or sculptor's chisel; thus, beyond the pure shooting process, a work of art is deliberately created - painting with light, shadow, shapes and colors. Photography is my form of artistic expression.
