L'Homme et l'arbre / Het Beige Huis

MET GESLOTEN LUIKEN

Gelegen tussen bos en bergbeek maak ik het een stille getuige van nooit gestelde vragen

(ik las een noodzakelijke pauze in)

Iets later duiden witte voetstappen op hoger gelegen hellingen een nieuwe richting aan

(ik hoop maar dat zij die ziet)

À HUIS CLOS

Situé entre la forêt et un ruisseau de montagne, j'en fait un témoin silencieux des questions jamais posées

(j'avais besoin d'une pause)

Plus tard, sur des pentes plus élevées, les traces blanches indiquent une nouvelle direction

(j'espère qu'elle la suivra)

Submersive Photography

Submersive Photography

With my photography I’d like to move into worlds that lie beyond what is directly visible, not by manipulating what I see, nor by changing somehow the photograph itself, but by seeing more as what the camera captures. I would like that my pictures can move beyond that instant reality, into a wider realm, where there is room to think, or to dream, or where some other space reveals itself.

I wish to do this with the images that I encounter in daily life, images that don’t seem to have exceptional beauty, or any other special quality, even though, ofcourse they did somehow drew my attention. Perhaps my eye captured it because it already had that particular poetic, philosophical or conceptual quality.

The other day, I read up a little about submersive photography. I came across the words saying it is pensive, and that it interrupts the flow of one-dimensional meaning. I then thought that it is this what I am interested in and what I wish my pictures to be.

Tour de force / Senseless Tour

today

I felt being

a round peg 

in a square hole

or maybe it was

  the other way 

around

in any

case it was

a day in which

 I turned round and

 round in circles

  going on and 

on

without realizing what has driven me and where I was going
