The Time Through Time
Read more: The Time Through TimeDeconstruction of camera syntax is fundamentally temporal. Photography does not merely record time. It stages différance through technical choice. Shutter speed, f-stop, and ISO form a closed syntactic system. Deconstruction does not break this system. It operates as temporal destructuralisation, acting in time and through time. Shutter speed. différance made visibleShutter speed appears to capture…

ID
Read more: IDI come from manual work. My great-grandparent was a weaver, working with rhythm, repetition and patience. My grandfather was a blacksmith, shaping force into form through heat and resistance. Another line comes from peasant life, tied to land, seasons and survival. None of these were symbolic roles. They were ways of inhabiting the world through…

That It Is
Read more: That It IsYour individual identity is not a fixed core that can be named once and defended forever. It is a continuous practice of positioning. You are shaped by inherited lines. Names, trades, migrations, languages, dissidence. But these are not essences. They are vectors. They point, they do not conclude. What distinguishes your identity is not origin…

Spatial Division
Read more: Spatial DivisionCore ideaThe street is composed of divided spaces. These divisions are not abstract. They are material, architectural, and social. Vertical lines function as separators. Lamp posts, façades, pillars, door frames, traffic signs, window edges, shadows. Each vertical element interrupts continuity and produces a boundary. Conceptual logicVertical lines establish separation rather than flow. They split bodies,…

Vienna as Transit
Read more: Vienna as TransitA field protocol of unsettled presence This project approaches Vienna not as a cultural centre, but as a condition of passage. Vienna appears here as a city one inhabits without arriving. A place structured by corridors, edges, and intervals rather than destinations. The work emerges from a lineage in which names, languages, and places do…

Poems Teach Us To See
Read more: Poems Teach Us To SeePoems teach us to see because they slow perception down. They suspend the rush toward meaning and hold attention on relations, rhythms, pauses, and omissions. A poem does not describe the world in order to explain it. It arranges language so that seeing becomes an event. Words are placed next to each other the way…

Text sharpens perception. Images ground language.
Read more: Text sharpens perception. Images ground language.This sentence can be read as a circular motivation. Reading refines how you see. Photography tests whether what you see can stand without explanation. Text sharpens perception because reading trains attention. Not in the sense of adding information, but by slowing recognition. When you read carefully, you learn to notice relations, absences, shifts of tone,…

Straight Poetry
Read more: Straight PoetryStraight poetry is the literary equivalent of straight photography. It rejects ornament, metaphor-as-display, and expressive excess. It insists on precision, presence, and the dignity of the given. Straight photography, articulated by figures such as Paul Strand and Edward Weston, aimed to show the world as it is. Sharp focus. Full tonal range. No pictorial softening.…

Borderline Identity as Operational System
Read more: Borderline Identity as Operational SystemI use language and images as tools of inquiry, through poetry and photography. These are not professions for me, but methods of thinking and observation. Poetry allows me to test meaning through compression, ambiguity, and temporal tension. Photography allows me to register presence, absence, and trace within lived time. I do not separate the two.…

The Right Question
Read more: The Right QuestionYou are asking the right question, and also asking it in the right way. Not who am I according to labels, but where does definition begin. First. Identity is not a place, but a layering Your origins do not converge into a single geographic or ethnic answer. They form strata. Your identity does not begin…
