LAND JENSEITS DER WÄLDER
Land beyond the Forest
For hundreds of years my ancestors have been living in a little village in Transylvania. More than a decade ago I just took my camera and flew back over the forest to photograph. There was no plan or concept, I just wanted to learn about myself. It felt like walking into thick fog.
There are so many stories across generations this land is holding. Beautiful ones that I know and horrible ones that I can barely sense.
My long term project is not about unveiling pain, but appreciating all that has been felt or couldn‘t be felt. However my ancestors have met hardship and desaster during wars and oppression, they survived and did their best to live their lives. That’s why I am here and am who I am.
The fog won‘t disappear completely, just as this project will never be complete. So I might as well just chose this moment to start sharing it.
I love that place at the verge of a cloud.
