Reality moves so fast that everything is either an expectation or a memory…We experience many fragmented and concurrent images and perceptions which flow together instantly, creating a picture and a feeling of a scene.  It is this flow of images and this sense of time that I want in my work.

INTERIOR / EXTERIOR is a project which started in 1996. By using a special of camera obscura technique I can capture into the same image with one long exposure both person, room and the reflection of external landscape. First I just have to transform the room into camera obscura and then photograph there by using normal lens camera and long exposures.

Seeing light is a metaphor for seeing the invisible in the visible, for detecting the fragile imaginal garment that holds our planet and all existence together.  Once we have learned to see the light, surely everything else will follow.

Because it is red, this pepper simulated a small darkroom as a natural safelight for black and white photographic paper.  The darkest red pepper worked best.

I am fascinated by the purity of gesture in ‘frugal’ photography, with no optical barriers, no view-finder, no shutters or distances or heights and the equally pure but not at all frugal-on the contrary, clamorous-image reflected.  Volumes and geometric perspectives take shape through a pencil mark made ‘transparent’ by a pinhole and, by looking ‘through’ it, an image with a peculiar ‘fidelity’ of its own may be seen.
