2014
LOOKING BACK

2014 is almost over. And with up to +16°C here in Austria there is anyway no chance to make some decent winter pictures. ;-) So time to look back. Looking back to quite a turbulent year. A lot of traveling again. Started a few new projects. Changed camera system. Got married...

Here is so to say a (small) summery in pictures of 2014.

Into the Abyss

Started the year with my "Sphere" Project. A picture per day for half a year (or so)

February. Exhibition at the KUNST 2014 in Berlin, Germany.

Ocean born

March. We went to the Fotofest Portfolio Review in Houston, TX, USA. And did some pictures for Vika's Project "Life loves Death" in the beaches of Galveston.

April. Added some pictures to my "Ghost" series.

Enchanted

May. Going east. We drove to the Ural, visited Magnitogorsk, Arkaim and a lot of other nice places, crossing the border between Europe and Asia quite often.

Monochrom

June. Back in Moscow. Spent a lot of time in Gorki Park and rambling the streets...

Helix

July. Went to Arles again. Attended the Portfolio review. And spent some times at the beach too...

August. Moscow. Early morning in an empty park. The doll was just sitting there. Quite spooky...

Lost again.

September. Commuting (by car) between Austria and Russia. A opportunity to add some pictures to my "Lost" series...

October. The beauty of small things...

Tolerance

November. Started with my new project. "Tolerance".

December. Lets see where to the year 2015 will lead us...

LOST

Waking up in places that are alien and yet become home with time. Lost in the thicket of geographical coordinates which subdivide our world. Being able to locate his whereabouts and yet not knowing exactly where you are. Foreign places that are feeling familiar, even if each looks different.

LOST. And finding yourself again.

Moscow, New York ... sometimes just a look out the window is helping to remember where you are waking up. Hotel rooms. Places that could be precisely determined, and which sometimes could become „home away from home“ (or have to be). For a short time only. What remains are memories. Sometimes you feel at home. And sometimes you just LOST..

This pictures are from “LOST“, my projects in progress about hotel rooms around the world: Small sections of a reality that anyone who travels, who is staying at hotels, will recognize. Realities, that are buried deep in the subconscious.
