monster
In this series i show longtime exposure photographs depict the people pouring through the streets as ghostly traces of a moving mass, making them seem almost menacing, like a faceless monster working its way through the city, the line between monstrosity and humanity dissolving in a mist of motion.
This image was taken with an analog hasselblad camera on medium format bw film.
Some photographs of his series 'monster', 'multiexpo' and 'tierwald' were shown in Germany, France, USA, Spain, UK and Italy at renowned galleries and festivals. He's part of a permanent collection of the Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris.
