The Thoughts and the Person Behind Them
Part I – the thoughts on artistic photography
Creating images and stories with the help photography and subsequent digital processing – that is my passion and I work intensively on it. I develop new ways realizing my ideas and always try to remain open-minded and mentally flexible for developments and improvements.
For my photographic narratives, I use the possibility consciously staged photography, as well as the possibility performative photography, triggered by a conscious action, but always with the knowledge that this action does not produce the result on its own, but that control is taken out my hands the moment I get involved with the apparatus and the technology.
The resulting images are clearly not necessary, but they are possible – they show in the playful way that is so important to me, that being different can be an enrichment reality. Each picture tells a new story that no one knows yet. Every story can be developed into a new narrative. And this process is infinitely repeatable. Wonderful!
Narrative photography means the following to me:
All my photographic works bear a characteristic “Leopoldi label” through the choice subject, the deliberate use technique and through post-processing. The photographs can be divided into two main categories: Representational photography and image-creating photography. Clearly, however, the common denominator can be seen – the desire to tell stories.
My representational photographs show subjective, commenting works, which are clearly used to find and show new facts in already given – simply the world from my point view , eg #myworldmycolours.
This type photography does not belong to any art philosophical direction, but is also part my photographic work, also here I tell, show my impressions and expanded perspectives.
Part II – The person behind the camera
You can get a good first impression Eva by watching this short explainer video. Because it becomes clear that…
- …. the artist is passionate about not only searching for and capturing her very own view the world,
- …. it is just as important to her to use her meanwhile gray head to look around and reflect on history, art history and philosophies, and
- …. she much, much prefers to be behind the camera than in front it and therefore prefers to use her alter egos Eva.xxxx when she talks about herself…
