The photo from the series "Blindfolded"

Photographed on film, scanned and printed on Fine Art Archival paper Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308

The analog photography series "Blindfolded" is a continuation of the cycle started in the "covid" series "On the black wall". It continues to develop the theme of constant dialogue with oneself and time. This time, connections of different dimensions are being sought, as if trying to answer a constantly tormenting question in the face of ever-increasing conflict in the world.

Experimenting with the possibilities of double exposure against a black-painted wall, “living” and “non-living”, static and dynamic objects are combined in one frame of film, sizes are changed, colors are “overlaid”. You observe how objects “find” each other and for a moment gain realization.

The black background of the wall is here as a symbol of blinding darkness, a labyrinth in which you try to find landmarks of light. Color, as one of the most beautiful properties of light, is not only an aesthetic segment of the image, but also one of the most important means of expression.

A person participating in photo still lifes seems to be in a space of associations and imagination with phantasmagoric and surreal images. Sometimes it is the main character, sometimes it is a part of an object, and sometimes it is just a color spot. The tangled routes of imagination are full of surprises, and the constantly appearing obstacles of compositional decisions encourage new reflections and hidden possibilities to unfold.
