life looker

I don’t feel very able to say something about the world, about outside, about others. I see myself in what I’m looking at. I think we all do. Whatever I’m photographing, I want to strip its facade and my own. To become naked in a way. It’s not a literal self portrait.
I don’t want to state the facts of my life, or any facts. I want to eliminate them, to get at a persistent feeling that is always there. Not to describe, but maybe to reveal something. To break the barrier between me and what I’m looking at. To break the surface of reality, not for the sake of abstraction, but to go inside. I think if this happens, if you get close then others will see themselves in it. I think if you’re honest about your relation to reality, then it’s not just your reality anymore. Only in this sense do I believe in documentary.
