Stasis

“We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”

H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

Inspired by texts of H.P. Lovecraft, it was my goal to create enigmatic images that once again put the viewer in front of riddles.

Some suspect satellite or aerial photographs of mines or barren landscapes, others suspect microscope images.

Nightshift Shanghai

An Illuminated Glimpse Into Shanghai’s Late Night Shops and Stalls.

“While in town for a shoot for Shanghai Photofairs this past summer, photographer Florian Mueller would wander through the city’s streets, meeting the owners of food stalls and other businesses that stayed open into the night. The series, Nightshift, observes the inviting glow that emanates from Shanghai’s after-hours operations in addition to showcasing those that staff the small shops during the humid evenings.”
