Urs Stahel - ‘Photography with Architecture’ (2021)

In 2021, Urs Stahel published this text, reflecting on my photographic works.

“…Here, he plays back a plethora of images at such a high speed that an intermediate visual realm also appears in the 5.29-minute loop.

And finally, the images of complete blurs in which an even, calm but unpleasantly impenetrable veil, like a perfectly stretched curtain, emerges between us as viewers and what is being looked at, as if a wall of fog was being raised, obscuring the entire outside world, blurring it, making it barely recognisable, and thus placing the blur itself at the centre of viewing….”.
