What color is longing?

Every journey carries a very specific mood. The reason why one departs. The pace of a city. The relationship you build with a place. Stories that happen there.

The photos gather in themselves a moment that goes far beyond the subject of the picture – the whole city, the whole day, the background noise of the whole journey.

“Even before I leave, I decide on a filter. This filter is co-determining how I experience the trip. The relationship I build with the place, comes from my past, desires, and dreams. A small star made of glitter that a clown on the sidewalk has just lost, or the contrail on the sky that is only a second glance, or the vapor trail in the sky above a pool in the Hollywood Hills: traces that people leave behind on their way, on their journey, and so also on mine. The photographs allow the viewer to see the world even more than through my eyes, through my heart.”
