“But nobody was moving around. There were no scary shadows. Everything lay in moonlight, and I could see the smallest things.” - Raymond Carver
I could see the smallest things is the result of 4 months of daily shooting in Barcelona and London. It is a personal reflection on imposed belief systems and the resulting alienation. It contrasts the elegance and crudeness of the material world, inviting the viewer to reflect on the beauty of their daily lives and the intangible influences that distract from them. Throughout this body of work, the images insist on the contemplation of what is real, fabricated, and inferred by the photographs themselves, as well as in the broader cultural context in which they are made. The lines between day and night, real and ethereal, are blurred as light in darkness and darkness in light are sought.
My greatest desire when making these photographs was for the viewer to experience the beauty of the images, then contemplate how exactly they were created. Project created by Eric Sandstrom
