Personal Topographies is a project that explores the concept of time and the borderline between art, science and history. The project adopts an aesthetic that brings us back to the early days of photography, the film plates, the large format negatives. Here, each large scale digital negative is slowly constructed from several (between 10 to 30) long exposure detail photographs captured over long time periods, The project challenges the popular assumption that photography simply (mechanically) captures and renders fragments of time into reality. The time passages depicted in this series are elongated, reversed and abstracted. These landscapes are gently created like paintings, like inner expressions from the artist. The final results are surreal in the level of detail and tonal range, resembling the analogue negatives created by the early pioneers of the medium with their large view cameras.
