Project Background
We live in a fast-paced and superficial world. There are many things worth looking at more closely, but we rarely give them more than a quick look. This doesn’t just apply to uncomfortable images. Hardly anyone takes the time to enjoy the view of a landscape, a flower, an interestingly designed building, to look at an image intensively, to question it, to engage with it.
Content should be presented clearly, be easily understood, and be quick to consume.We often ignore the potential manipulation in this process, thinking we’re better than others and that it’s just easier to do it this way, even though we’re missing out on important background information.But even a quick look at an image can trigger an emotion, whether it’s from the color scheme, a certain symbolism, or other factors.
This work plays with the idea that what we see is always changing, and it doesn’t show clear images. Instead, it leaves room for interpretation and lets you experience a bunch of different emotions.André Heller said formulated it perfectly years ago: „The real adventures take place in your mind!“
The images in this series aren’t just blurred photographs. They were taken with a digital pinhole camera, and the opening size was deliberately chosen to use the resulting blur to create images that allow the viewer an individual image and emotional experience.
