Pink is my favorite color 

In this project I researched the theme of intimacy. How can I make the distance between myself and my photography as small as possible? was the main question during this project. By visualizing my childhood memories? By visualizing my thoughts and feelings? Or should I stay close to my surroundings?

 

Intimacy can only exist in relation to the other, personal experiences only become intimate due the possibility of sharing them or not. The camera can assume the role of a possible viewer. This creates the intimate character of the image, as a witness to be hidden or revealed.

​ 

This project was published in 2016 as part of 'Alongside my mind', a photographic diary I made during my second year of art school: a visual story about my daily life. ​
