From the series Dreams of a Distant Place – “An attempt to recreate childhood day-dreams of faraway unknown places to a young boy growing up behind the iron curtain in East-Berlin in the early 80s. An ongoing body of work in progress photographed in many different locations world-wide. All images here are in-camera double-exposures printed on instant film.”
Editor’s comment: A surreal and figurative recreation of distant memory – the mystery of night can give us space to let our imaginations push boundaries and create narratives around certain events. The photographer’s skill of in-camera double exposure enables them to create as much of the image as possible in the moment itself, the process alone being a representation of how we create our memories. The photographer seems to be creating a story book of single images to navigate and make sense of these distant events and memories, and their unique style and approach is engaging.
