Somewhere Around Here Darkness Lives (2017)
Photography
In 2017 I experienced glitches which was a series of around fifty, mostly black, photos randomly and accidentally taken by my mobile phone which I carried in my pockets of my mostly black clothes. I found beauty in these real, unedited and unplanned pictures. To me it was art at its core: raw, honest and had as well some autobiographical parallels to my year so I decided to make them part of my artwork for 2017 with the title ”Somewhere Around Here Darkness Lives”. Two years later, in 2019, I collaborated with Alvin Tan, Artist, Designer and Co-Founder of the contemporary art and design collective PHUNK.
Alvin and myself had the idea of a short movie called "Parallel Universe" which deals with the beauty of the momentum of his and mine mobile phone glitches.
