Urban Horizons
an abstract photographic essay

When I take my photos in urban environments I seek out dirty, soiled, and worn-out spots in which I find lines- small horizons, little worlds in which I allow myself to slip in and where my imagination goes free to meditate, tell stories and escape the human impositions of the concrete labyrinth that cities represent. As a photographer, I, therefore, become a finger pointer, aiming towards the beauty that goes unnoticed, the one that disguises itself as ugliness, the one that hides, ashamed because it does not fit its creators’ intents anymore. Horizons have long been a theme of my work. In metropolises, horizon lines are quasi non-existent and I miss them. My work is a small remedy to compensate and make up for it. These shots here were taken in San Francisco, Barcelona, Prague, Berne, Paris, and Tokyo. Through color and contrast intensification followed by print on a textured matte paper I intent to coherently link the abstract aesthetics of my photography with those of my paintings.
