Shadows

little snail look! look! at your shadow* * Kobayashi Issa, 1814 Focusing on contemporaneity, paying attention to here and now, one can find a fascinating new world in every-day objects. Shadows: they offer a new - twisted and distorted - perspective onto even most mundane and ordinary objects. Shadows of things and people obtain fantastical, fairy tale-like quality. Shadows of common items become menacing; everything is transformed out of proportion in a mysterious and new way. The series explores my long-lasting fascination with photographing shadows.
