For more than three decades, I have pointed my camera at human beings and at what emanates from them and remains behind. Over the years, encounters, journeys, and observations have resulted in a body of work that deals with identity, the body, social signs, and the traces of human existence. In the chapter Humans if I direct my gaze towards man and his identity, in Stage on the body and its expressiveness, in Signs to the signs of our times and in Absence what remains of us, long after you have left the stage of life. My Notebooks open up a view of encounters, thoughts, and stories behind the images.
