"What is reality?" is a series created in March - June 2018.

After reading the two books "A brief history of time" and "The grand design" by Stephen Hawking I was inspired by the physical insights and the way he explains them. I created a surrealistic series of images, where every image belongs to another theses of one of Hawking's books. The results were 15 surreal photographs, where every single one stands as an artwork on its own but still refer to a physical aspect.

This image was inspired by Stephen Hawkings thesis about dimensions:

"It seems clear then that life, at least as we know it,
can exist only in regions of space-time in which one
time dimension and three space dimensions are not
curled up small. This would mean that one could
appeal to the weak anthropic principle, provided
one could show that string theory does at least allow
there to be such regions of the universe – and
it seems that indeed string theory does. There may
well be other regions of the universe, or other universes
(whatever that may mean), in which all the dimensions
are curled up small or in which more than
four dimensions are nearly flat, but there would be
no intelligent beings in such regions to observe the
different number of effective dimensions."

Stephen Hawking, „A brief history of time“, 1988, p. 89, 90
