Statement:Photography is in a complex, much-discussed relationship to reality. As an artistic medium, photography often challenges the traditional definitions of origin and
authorship, and consequently both the photographic image and the identity of the
photographer are called into question.
Working with photography within the art field I cannot escape the ongoing re-looking
and re-thinking of the relationship with reality.
Thinking around the notion of photographic representation I started my work by
asking the underlying question: What is reality?
The vision of the viewer is of much more interest to me than the possible storytelling
of the image, as it is the position from which the viewer sees that makes the image,
not mainly my personal gaze as a photographer.
In this way it might be claimed that my pictures follow surrealism more than realism
in their fundamental wish to question the very nature of reality itself, and frame actual
desire more than a motive seen by the photographic eye.
In the end, at least from my point of view, my photographs can be seen as little
invitations for the viewer to have a look at the position from which he or she sees –
since, after all, there is no look from nowhere.
