For years, my photographic work has been concerned with destabilizing the limits of imageability. Like sponges hitting water the individual pictorial elements seem to absorb each other.

I understand saturation in the sense of Jue/Ruiz, as a way of developing sensibilities for co-presence transformations and/or processual shifts that goes far beyond the hydrological origin of the term.

Sometimes my works show playfully overlapping inner and outer perceptions.

Sometimes these delimit each other in a stormy, almost cannibalistic manner.

Sometimes small details only hint at a seemingly unreal view or perspective.

Sometimes the dissolution of dream and reality is communicated far more superficially and directly in the visual language.

“And yet even as the final assault on the viability of the earth is being authored on the many Bay Streets of the global north, this is being called the Anthropocene: a crisis caused by human activity that puts human life at risk. This is an affront! Because it is not ‘humans,’ is is? The Human has never been a politically neutral category. In this anthropocentric framing of the climate crisis it is important to ask: Who, exactly, is imagined as human?”
