Hi Mike, thanks for your elaborate feedback. Indeed, they are everywhere these black holes. I've tried to take some more apparent ones as backdrops for this series, as the thematic as such is already hard to grasp. I didn't want to further complicate conveying a message by photographing something literally invisible. In this case I took landscapes altered by the first and second world war as locations and as a reminder or symbol of a dramatic experience in the past, that can be felt in the present, whilst over time becoming ever more invisible to the eye.
And thanks for having had a look at the other series as well. The other series were experiments with portrait photography. A category in photography that I truly love but with which I've always struggled a bit. I applied a completely different way of working there in my attempts at portraits during my academic period. The series in Paris is the odd one out as it was an attempt at capturing a somewhat cliche sensual parisian vibe. An exercise to get away from the deeper heavier topics or the more complicated (for me) portrait photography.
Cheers!
