Omschrijving

A prize-winning entry in the IPA (International Photo Awards) 2009,New York:
This series is based on the feeling of being (comfortably) lost while traveling in another country or city.the atmosphere of a hotelroom,a place of transition-arrival and departure,a temporary home away from home. My aim was to create an image wich is both open and attractive yet undefinable and strange,unexplored,like in a dream_through Photoshop,i have the means to make it look realistic. It can also be interpreted as a reflection on my personal love for digital photography,wich i see as a journey. The essential factor in each image is the principle of symmetry:for me,symmetry is associated with feeling safe,feeling protected.symmetry represents clarity, the well-known.recognizing symmetric patterns is preset in our minds,it is an instinctive way of searching for a piece of familiarity in a strange environment -yet the rooms are not open,since there is no exit.the point of view is that of someone who stands in the doorway looking in,with his back turned to the outside world.It is a subtle game of desorientation and curiosity something that can be of greater beauty than holding on to what we know,when we are open for it.
