My artistic practise is clearly photographic, and issues I touch upon are related to societal topics. Thematically my practise has been twofold: on the one hand majority of my work has discussed issues relating to violence (both in structural level and as concrete form of action), and on the other hand I have touched upon topics relating to male being and production of male identity.
Theoretically much of my work falls into practise that can be categorized as documentary. However, here documentary does not refer to classical photography that is based on 'authenticity' or 'indexicality', such as photojournalistic or news photography, my work rather activates critical practises within documentary discourse. As a form of expression documentary relates to concepts such as verisimilitude and dramatized or narrated real. I also tend to use documentary as a generic definition, seeing it as a practise that guides reception and meaning making.
In relations to this I understand photography as an engaged medium that invites all participants into an aesthetic and ethical interplay. Photographic art is a medium that has unique possibilities in taking part to the critical discussions in contemporary society, by evoking conversation and debate and by cultivating emotional life and diversity in thought.
