The four photos of the portfolio „Animals“ were
also shot on Bulls Island/South Carolina/USA.
The most important aspect for me, concerning
these images, is the fact that it was these
“animals”, in the general sense of this term,
which I “saw”, taking these photos. So looking
through the viewfinder, having my image I did
not see a piece of wood, but in this case a cowering
animal. If the name I gave it in hindsight
in a completely associative manner does not
come even close to what others think, that’s
quite ok, but it is the seeming vivification of this
dead wood that generates the fascination of
these images for me. There is an additional
sculptural aspect, really accidental aspect, but
none the less this fosters the imagination making
it look less likely that this is just a piece of
nature, just sun bleached wood.
