What is still real in our media-driven world, and what is a lie? Which images are "authentic," and which ones, in times of artificial intelligence only give the illusion of being so? In my work, I explore areas where reality and illusion lose their specific definitions and confuse the observer’s understanding of seeing. My photographs suggest a form of reality without actually depicting one, blurring the line between reality and imagination to the point where they are nearly indistinguishable.

 

As an artist, I mainly focus on questions related to the photographic. In my work, photography is transformed from a reproducing medium into a producing one. I research and experiment with various processes and mechanisms of the digital camera and explore the visual language of photography. I observe materials that can transform through light, shadow and reflections, altering reality in the process. I capture this new reality with the camera. I paint with light and shadow, create new worlds with the camera, and show things through photography that are invisible to the naked eye.
