Welcome to „Alienated Reality“, to a journey, many times kind of a psychedelic trip, into strange, „alien“ worlds.
(Astro)physicists tell us since many years about the existence of parallel universes very similar to ours or may be unimaginable different. Nobody really knows – beyond those who seem to know about everything…
From Steampunk over Digital Art to Retrofuturism people create their images of different universes, often using the power of their digital machines to create images rooted in their dreams and fantasy.
My approach is different: Everything is based on photographically captured reality – nothing added or deleted. But in the end mostly every pixel will be treated at least once to create something new, to come down to alienated reality. That way reality is dramatized, put into a different context, reduced to its core. Fueled with different meaning and impact new assoziations and contexts evolve, an own different universe arrives in the minds eye of the viewer – one that doesn’t just take you home but invites to go on the journey by your own.
Wether this will be kind of an „hippie-trip“ into a mostly colorful, psychedelic fantasy-world or simply getting into something alien and familiar at the same time is up to the viewer…
About me: Born 1960 I always felt the tension between reality and fantasy/imaginated worlds. For my regular job sometimes offers more reality to me as requested, my life-long fascination for photography always worked as a counterbalance. Digital technology gave me the chance to push my creative work beyond the boundaries, to let reality communicate with phantasy. And finally I decided to share these newly generated universes with you people.
