My photography is the research of a medium and also a quest for my signature with changing technology; it holds the middle between art and applied photography, which in my opinon is it's strength. Manipulating a picture, or to be more specific a timeframe, is the backbone of my fascination for this medium. The reason for this is very well explained by designer Philip Starck In his words you can find something like this: Light is life the shadow is a barier. -In fact what we call night is the shadow-. Life is fluent, when you look through a lens you fragment this continuum -some people call this tunnelvision / life will never be televised... rather the ideas in life will be exposed the most to achieve an 'attestatie de vitae'-. Brian Eno wrote in the introductory essay of Anton Corbijn's Star Trak: "Lively is important: people holding a camera are normally dead -I say: surreal-. They are not in the same time as the rest of us. They are not here. They are already in the future, looking back at the now through their imagined picture as if it is already history."
Hyperrealistic and imaginairy pictures have my greatest passion because documentary photo's strike me as vulgar voyeurism and urban debris from which I have to take distance. Inspiration from the surrealist art in the interwar years, cinematography and modern media are my influences. An interest in presentation forms as well as the interdisciplinairy use of a camera started during my academic years with audiovisual presentations. People and their relation with time and space have become my main subjects in all projects on my 'tour du ciel'.
