I looked out through the window almost every night during a three-month
period. In retrospect, this moment always seemed to be the same. It
was much like a repetition of a night which was always quiet and where
I was alone with no one in the streets. My series of photographs is
a documentation of feelings that I repetitiously experienced during
a period of three months in a strange home and a strange environment.
The challenge would have been to dare to wander out into the night
and explore the suburb of a big city. I didn’t have the courage.
I felt small. Instead, I just mooted by myself and tried to feel at
home. As I returned, I still looked through a glass. |
