During my first travels I
tried to capture the physical iconic identity of the cities and
places which I visited, and interpreted them in my own way.
At a later stage, on returning to the same places, those iconic
images, gradually began to blur, and I found myself searching for
a different, metaphysical, dimension where space and time turn into
emotion, where a collective experience turns into a private one,
and the physical and sensual dimension turn into a psychological,
metaphoric and spiritual one.
In the images collected for this book, the geographic space and
even its human inhabitants, are stripped from their individual identities
to reveal another level of metaphysical and surreal identity. City
lights become blurred and transform into a texture, human beings
become random spots of melancholy, a water puddle is converted into
an alternative world, a country road or railway becomes an unanswered
question.
An external, faraway “there”, becomes an internal
“there” deep inside us. |
