PHOTOGRAPHY / Tondos

E X T R A P O L A T I O N
"I Am Nature"

I like to climb trees a lot.
Up in the trees everything looks a little "Pollockesque".

My mother has told me that I as a two to three year old (almost) fell down from a huge ash. I was hooked up in one of the branches, and ended up hanging upside down in one of my rubber booths. I never made a sound - just hanged there quietly. I do not remember this myself, but I like to believe that I enjoyed the view.

I remove the "jazz" of Pollock's paintings, and create sugestive mirrors wich is largely based on light-dark contrasts rather than chromatic structure.

The round shape is a comment on my use of a lens based equipment. Kodak's very first camera availiable to the public - the No. 1 Kodak, provided round images. It's also a reference to the "tondos" - a Renaissance term for a circular work of art.

No chaos. Damn it!
