Holger Mischke
In my work, I combine black and white photography with prosaic texts, describing the world around us filtered through the world inside me. The photographs record moments at locations ranging from my living room to far away places, and the words reflect the thoughts I had, the emotions I felt, making the photograph. This combination is meant to inspire the viewer to find their own narrative in my images. I believe when the same mindfulness and openness that I try to practice finding and crafting these images is practiced looking at them, a photograph and a viewer can find each other and have a real connection. A connection that involves the viewer, the artist, the print and the reality it represents and so the circle is complete.
