The strangeness of ordinary places
The project I’ve been working on for some time, provisionally titled ‘Charlie’s Bistro’, has evolved and grown into the book ‘hinterland’.
Hinterland is a photographic project that focuses on places outside the centre: the outskirts of villages and towns, transitional zones and everyday environments without a clear destination. The focus is not on what happens, but on what remains. The ordinary shifts when function and narrative fade into the background. Meaning emerges in sequence, in details, echoes and shifts.
It is not a story, but a sequence of images that respond to one another. Hinterland approaches the ‘hinterland’ not as a void, but as a space in which something can become visible — an open field of meaning, porous to interpretation, without judgement or conclusion.
Further information about the book will follow shortly.
