"Kosmos"

In "Kosmos" I focus on a particular section of an urban environment - on playground objects made of stainless steel, of which I took pictures in the last hour of the daylight for the purpose of showing their unusual but in the broader sense maybe "true face". In these hours a change takes place: the light leaves, the darkness arrives. This composition lets the objects shine. The space disappears as a result of the reduction of the light. What remains, is the exaggerated form of the objects. Due to his property, the playground equipment allows us an access into an unusual world, or rather said in a forgotten or an unlearned world. It leads us back to the haptic, back to the time when it wasn´t necessary to think about essential things; back to a time when one wanted to feel. Simultaneously, because of the way the photographycs where taken, we feel the unknown of that distant period, the estrangement caused by memories.
