Artist Statement:
I photograph intimate and
emotional relations between
couples. The images are
taken from daily life, and the
subjects are myself and my
wife. I focus on unguarded
moments showing a couple
eating, resting, talking,
feeling bored, listless, being
sexual, et cetera—living—to
capture intimate psychological
and emotional feelings between
two people. Influences have
been the films of Fassbinder
and Ingmar Bergman and
renaissance and Nineteenth
Century painting. I see what
is in front of me, feel an
emotional and visceral
connection, and capture this
in photographs. Documenting
how people live their lives,
my photographs trace the
poetry and lyricism of daily
life.
These images are taken as if
there was no camera--or
photographer--in the room. As
a result, we experience a
couple’s life unfold, see
their unguarded moments, and
watch them just exist.
