2012
As
everyday passes by, we are always somewhere. These are the hidden places of our
everyday life. They are always there, but we rarely think of them as something
noteworthy. Suddenly, something occurs and your gaze stops and takes hold. The
field of view is widened, aperture is increased, the eye settles. Small shifts
in perspective, the eye moves back and forth in endless motion. The eye is
sensitive to light, so even in a dull darkness nuances becomes clear.
In a serie of images I examines what happens when
perspective is slightly shifted and places seen from a new position.
The
photos are captured in the house where I live in downtown Malmö. Motifs are
either very dark in itself, or night-shots with only little ambient light.
At a first glance, my eyes sees nothing when confronted
with these hidden places of my everyday life. It reminds me about entering a dark
room, it’s not before your eyes adjust to the darkness that you are able to
distinguish shapes and details.
