Description:
I take my inspiration for my works from the pleasures and intimate "events" of watching and imagination. I use the requisites of photography: photo negatives, light, projection, a mask, photosensitive paper, developer, fixative. The photo negatives preserve the images of reality which I see every day, which are captured in my nerves, and which have almost become a part of my body, the basis of my imagination and thinking. These negatives are the archives of forms, of which I can select any segment using the light-beam of a projector. When I place a mask - a punctured sheet of paper - in the path of the light of the enlarger, only a tiny detail of the image is allowed to appear on the photosensitive paper. These small dots, selected by the mask, are the basic elements of my pictures. These are optical units, which are familiar and dear to my eyes. They are such small accents, such severely pruned pictures of "reality," that almost nothing can be seen of them. (...) (P.T.)
