As if there is a 6th sense in making sense
Photographs and photo series motivate us to let our eyes wander over one or several images. In search of structures and abstractions, we are almost naturally drawn to new perspectives and insights.
The images of the photographic work „As the Eye Wanders“ are based on sediments of memory from distant places, taken at different times. They correspond in curious and contradictory ways, as if questioning coincidences.
Initially, two pictures were placed side by side, which reflect each other through contrast and similarity. They were then expanded into series of four or five images. This discursive approach generated diptychs and series with different moods and themes. Yet, each individual image upholds its own particular status in the given sequences, drawing its essence from how it has become part of a larger picture.
