About Hildring
The pictures in the series Hildring are photographed over a period of ten years.
As I started exploring the areas of the lens outside the focal plane, I was struck by the beauty and the feeling of remoteness in the defocused image.
Photography forced naturalistic painting into Impressionism and Cubism. In this context it is
interesting to simplify and to abstract the photographic image in return.
All pictures in the series Hildring are straight photography. If any, the few adjustments done are identical to the ones earlier performed in a darkroom.
Every photograph is a memory of a moment lost forever.
In the “Hildring” images, these memories have already started to alter and fade.
