Exactly Jan, associations and many (I hope) possible interpretations. The order of the pictures is also not too strict, I think there are also other possible ways of sequencing the pictures that would make sense (to me).



Aha! Now I get it, or at least I hope so. It's not that the whole set would follow a common line (putting flash usage aside), but rather the succesive pictures are more like associations, in colors, forms etc. I thought so, but wasn't really sure at some points, like transition from [oleg] to [exai] for instance.



Jan (Winkler), ok no problem. I also recently removed some pictures from my ball-saal account so could well be some of the ones you liked are no longer there... ;-) But still if you find the time it would just be interesting for me to know which ones you were talking about.

Anyway, about the "common thing". I am a bit hesitant to write too much about this as I don't want to influence too much by words what people see in the pictures. But the main idea I guess is that I look for "everyday" things, objects etc. in the world and turn them into something else by photographing them. For me these pictures are records of those things but at the same time they work in a more abstract way, as metaphors. For example, in the [oska] pictures there's a massive tree and a thin wire is attached to it, while the [oleg] picture shows a slim pole that has wires inside. So these are the recorded facts, but also they could have meaning beyond that. For me they are about some things and how they are connected to something else and their environment... the tree or the pole or the wire could be any other thing - or person, or thought... It could mean anything or nothing, really. Quite hard to write about this for me, I hope I don't sound like a complete lunatic. ;-) Also colors and structures are important links for me, I think the patterns of the clouds and grass in the first two pictures look similar. Or the yellow in [fugl] and [oska]. Could be I'm asking too much of the viewer, as I said it's hard to judge I see and what I can expect others to see in my pictures.



Oh, right now, I'm too lazy, and busy too, to trace back particular shots on ball-saal, sorry. But I may (no promises here) sometime put together my personal pick of your best. Or better yet, you put your stuff here and I'll tell you. ;)

Can you articulate that common thing in the pictures? Seeing and thinking about your stuff is great, but having it explained by you yourself would perhaps push the whole thing up to yet another level. :)



nie je to ziadne je to nic.... :-)



Jan, which other works are you refering to? It's very interesting for me what you wrote regarding heterogeneity, for me there are clear connections between the pictures. But this is why I'm really glad to get feedback, I see certain things in these pictures but it's so hard to say for me if other people do as well. So thanks a lot, I very much appreciate your criticism!

Thanks to everyone for your comments!



es gefällt mir als das Ganze sehr, aber vor allem: koca, fugl, exai.
gut! :-)



These shots aren't as mindblowing as some of your other works. I also cannot see any clue as to why these are published in one set, they seem quite heterogenous to make up a series, if you catch my drift. :)

However, I can feel your handwriting, and am eagerly awaiting more of your stuff on fstop. Welcome. :)
