Perception. The processing of information obtained through sensory organs is a highly subjective thing. Human visual perception is based on relations—the contrast between large and small, light and dark, colored and colorless—and is tailored to our small habitat earth. The human species is inexorably spreading, taking over nature, exploiting it and alienating from it. The speed at which man changes his environment is frightening. In the course of globalization, digitization and global networking, people create a virtual reality, an artificial parallel world, in which they worship things that they displace from real life. In my pictures, I use photographic techniques to question and expand human perception. Like a visitor from space, I try to take a look from outside at the human habitat—full of curiosity, but also with fright. Holiday ghettos and apartments that resemble arrangements in a test laboratory, god-like, X-ray-like views of urban spaces, cityscapes drowning in light, and abstract structures that are natural in origin but could be illustrations for digital processes: My photo series, which I create over years, reflect modern phenomena that fascinate, confuse and let us doubt.
