The series attempts to look at gestures, and the hunt for perfection in our exterior surroundings, hereby trying to understand an imperfection which is inevitable and its many facets. Desire, pleasure and sorrow is the main affect that is utilised in an ever-growing body of work which turns and changes the viewer’s perception in an unexpected way. Every image is a fold that allows multiple readings and changes the conditions of looking through visual material that is as visceral as it is tactile.
Barok is an investigation into how we interact with the spaces around us, and the effects this has on the individual. Hereby looking at the human condition when confronted with specific forms, shapes and textures. Barok takes the baroque as a main inspiration, not just as a period within architecture or art, but more so as an expression of a certain philosophy. The photographs are all individual pieces, yet as a whole, they create this expression of the Baroque, containing an explosion of decorative decadence, richness of colour, materiality and form.
