Macro Worlds –

In his series Macro Worlds, he builds small stages of glass, paper, textile, or plastics and creates new worlds which he explores through the macro lens. Objects are assembled, slides are layered, movement is built-in, lights are set. The photographer travels through these elaborate still lifes the size of a palm with his camera. No digital processing is used.

The works are located in border areas. Abstraction and figuration meet. Unconscious and conscious blur into each other. If these microcosms are then brought to the wall in large format, they begin to live and develop their fascination with the interplay of light and color.

Not only the creation of the photographs but also the viewing of them becomes a great pleasure.
