"ART IS A LIE." 
"ART GIVES THE CHAOS OF THE WORLD AN ORDER THAT DOESN‘T EXIST“.

(Paul Spector, bereavement counsellor and serial killer, in „The Fall“ on Netflix)

 

The idea of providing an order to a chaotic world as one potential purpose of art resonates with me. It is like music that brings harmony, rhythm and melody to a world of noice, literature produces stories with logic, a straightforward flow, a beginning and an end, not necessarily in line with stories from life. In my photography, order and simplification are key elements I’m seeking for.


However, I don’t think it’s wrong to capture an iconic landscape in great light conditions even if the resulting image is not that simple. Art should be pleasing human senses in the first instance.
