I wanted to work with landscape and looked for ways of experimenting with it because, being influenced by the chaos of things and their passing composition, I strived to bring something similar into landscape photography. Suburbs came across as the most suitable object.
I enjoyed taking long strolls, wandering through places that are rarely (practically never) visited by other inhabitants of the city. The suburbs were somehow between the border of the structured chaos of urban development and the restful fields, forests, or weird oases of lakes and ponds. Here, the hurried chaos would yield to meditative contemplation during long wanderings that enabled me to find landscape moments and, more importantly, to highlight them by using extrinsic, artificial objects.
In moments like those, “time” would sometimes disappear – there was nothing but the road and extensive, monotonous landscapes all around. However, this borderline between city and nature would occasionally abound with new, surrealistic forms. I would never purposefully cultivate this addition of objects to landscapes, though; on the contrary, I was most fascinated by their natural footprint, which was left behind by someone else and enhanced this landscape intentionally. This was precisely what had to be found.
