In an array of seven images, the forest transforms into an impenetrable, gloomy grey-blue structure. The theme is the change in photography from the analogue to the digital age with an irritated view of the turning point.
The moment in the first picture could be an authentic one, photographed digitally but conceived in analogue (2001) and thus close to the old photographic way of thinking. In the age of digital "growth", the possibilities of recording, editing and perception are also changing exponentially. Analogue photography as a "time machine" to the past is gradually broken down into its individual parts by each new digital expansion and disappears into an impenetrable fog of infinite possibilities.
It remains to be seen whether the possibilities of our digital age will actually lead to a calming of our inner turmoil...
