Die Nebenweld
The “real” world is only one of the many ways available to us for understanding and communicating our experiences. These images lead us to the other side of a looking glass, and back again, revealing relationships of tonality and form that, while implicit in the subjects, are effectively hidden from most of us by the ways we’ve evolved and learned to navigate the world.
The elusive story that these pictures tell is one of an alien world, just next-door, that I hope will provide for others, as it does for me, some revelatory illumination of our own.
