I love books, in particular I love beautifully designed and well
printed photo books.
Right now I’m working on a photo book entitled BILLARD which will
be released in conjunction
with an exhibition.
I think photos are only printed or enlarged alive.
The book and the photographs are a look back on a period that was
very important to me
Personally important because in this decade both of my children
were born, Lisa and Manuel. Lisa was first in 1980.
As a part-time father I was part of many things which would make an
every day life.
Photographed on playgrounds, in parks, at leisure activities and in
kindergarten. Extensive travelling was not an issue.
So I made small trips, in clubs, bars, and hotspots, or just had
encounters with
everyday life on the streets
What I was
looking for were human encounter which were sometimes volatile
situations.
Faces and gestures, frozen moments in everyday situations
Sometimes there was a glimpse of intimacy.
As photography is a
big part in my life it wasn’t just a project
but a part of
me.
Photography isn’t just a one-way street, it is both a mirror and
a window at the same time.
