MOVEMENT
Artist Statement
The focus of my most recent work is the relationship between movement and the built environment. My Multi Shot collection starts with 25-30 photos taken of a familiar landmark on a city street. It’s not until I place these images together, that I can see if the composition is going to work. I hang it up in my home, to see if its good enough to go further with and make a final print.
When I graduated you couldn’t show an unsharp photo. Ideas about photography have changed and it’s nice you can do what ever you like. I think there has been a very big development in educating in Denmark and the rest of the world. You can make an unsharp photo, a pixilated image on the iPhone, what ever you want. Basically here are no rules anymore. For me personally it is important that the technique it is not easy. Maybe its because I like to see an uncontrolled theme in my pictures.
If you ask an artist, painter or musician what they like most about their craft they usually reply, it’s because they can’t not do it – and I feel the same. Taking photos is not for saving the world or anything fancy it’s just for my own sake. I can’t stop doing it. I do it for my personal creative thought process.
