Press Release

Scratch

These works were taken by camera obscura, a camera, which I made out of cardboard boxes. The negatives were developed in the darkroom an exposed of a long time. The personal need for slowness and the yearning for nature influenced on my choosing the camera obscura method. Camera obscura method also allows to connecting the low tech and slow tech, which is important to me – without any technology groan. The camera obscura method, the marks and scratches it leaves and the long exposure are drawing visible something that otherwise is not noticeable to the eye. Meanwhile nature´s own timetable gets a chance, too.
