Plastic bloom
« Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed,”
Garry Winogrand
Observing them so closely, we discover universes hitherto unknown. Like Alice, eyes at flower-level, we slip into a world where the infinitely small becomes infinitely big, where the camera, becomes a toy, transports us into a fantastic and fantastical world, alternately perturbing and joyful.
The use of the plastic camera, with its sometimes random results, gives me a wonderful sense of freedom. The possibility of ‘failure’ is replaced by that of the sudden appearance of the unexpected and unhoped-for. This approach corresponds to my desire to produce images that express a vision that is ever more subjective, with a certain distancing from reality through highly instinctive shots.
