Don’t you want to come
and see the light? One blink
of the setting sun.

Do you know those moments? A setting sun, just above the trees, in a completely clear sky. In the foreground a lake that reflects all the light.

You know you better not do that, but you look at the sun for a moment. You are blinded, it takes a while before your vision recovers. But fascinated, I “watch” the beautiful colors that emerge on my retina...

That makes me curious: what will the camera do if I point it very quickly at the sun, without giving it time to adjust to the enormous flood of light? Can I blind the camera for a short moment, just like my eyes did?

I turn to the sun, the camera ready. I point it at the sunvery briefly and a quick, short movement...
An experiment…

ALL WE NEED IS LESS CONSUMING

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke. Thus to think about your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it. And on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming. And please, reflect on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…
