title
Pareidolia
(2018 - 2020)
After being deformed by continental forces and washed out by water, our ancestors adored caves to live in.
Now, these painted walls of stone give us a glimpse into our human roots, while scientists understand the creation of our earth by looking at a rock.
Stone extends from the depths of the seas to the highest mountains in the world and some of them became symbols of the religious.
The word „Pareidolia" is derived from the ancient Greek para, which means "beside" and the noun eidōlon meaning "shape“.
Inspired by the beauty of water touching stone, surface becomes a subjective visual world, where the meaning takes place on an individual level of interpretation.
where he became interested in perceptual psychological phenomenas and ideas.
In his work he questions fundamental relationships of nature and time,
showing of mostly well elaborated and complex visual worlds in black and white.
He now lives and works in Leipzig (Germany), where he is experimenting with alternative photographic techniques and image manipulation.
