The series "monochrome" is based on an artistic research on analog black and white photographic paper. The photographs show the material in the process of change. Contrary to the usual handling, the photographic paper is intentionally exposed to light. In the course of time, a color change occurs. What is considered a defect is made the content of the work.
In ever new combinations, the variety of colors of the medium that we know only in shades of gray is revealed. The photographs oscillate between abstract graphic color surfaces and moments in which the paper can be recognized as such.
Stripped of its original task, namely to reproduce an image and to fade into the background as a carrier material, the photographic paper itself becomes the content of the image.
