"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 Time Dilation:

"Another prediction of general relativity is that time
should appear to slower near a massive body like
the earth. This is because there is a relation between
the energy of light and its frequency (that
is, the number of waves of light per second): the
greater the energy, the higher frequency. As light
travels upward in the earth’s gravitational field, it
loses energy, and so its frequency goes down.
(This means that the length of time between one
wave crest and the next goes up.) To someone
high up, it would appear that everything down
below was making longer to happen."

Stephen Hawking, „A brief history of time“, 1988, p. 20
