Artist Statement
"Photography and film have a huge impact on how we create and think about time and space. Our perception of those fundamental parameters is affected by the imagery itself. I am interested in how we read and interpret images, how pictures produce value and manufacture myths.
Using film and photography, I explore questions about aesthetics, surface and style, how the construction of the image is used to provoke feelings such as desire or a sense of uncanniness. I am also interested in photography as a technical medium, with its conventions and limitations.
This work attempts to tackle visual representations of the object and the ambiguous relationship between image and object. The objects used in these photographs are taken from the commercial sphere. They are objects that relate to the consumption of commodities, but they are not in themselves the actual commodity. I have based the aesthetics on the early advertising photography that developed in Europe in the late 1920s and early 1930s, a visionary aesthetics created by the modernist avant-garde with a strong belief in the close connection between visual form and ideology."
