‘But then one day I asked the sun,’ is inspired by the book ‘All I see is part of me’ by Chara M. Curtis. In an exchange with Mr Sun and Sister Star, a little boy finds his inner light and the realization of his connection to all life and the entire world around him.
During an artist in residence program at Kunstverein Röderhof, I began to engage with my surroundings in a kind of stream of consciousness photography and repeatedly went on walks and explorations. Everything that caught my attention became relevant: descriptions of places as a whole, but also details such as stones, plants and earth itself became part of my work. I played with light effects, shadows and reflections and began to discover the big in the small, the outside in the inside and vice versa.
