comunicato stampa

“For more than a decade I have been creating a comprehensive body of work that explores the rise and fall and the construction and destruction of various societies and cultures around the world. In my process each country is carefully chosen.

The decisions I make in the studio is based on research and are only the first steps in a much more complex process. The regions I finally chose to work within are selected because they relate to the concept and inspiration of the project and will hopefully enable me to explore my vision. No two places are a like. But I always ensure that I am guided with the concept of my larger body of work leading the way. In the end these sites represent something much larger than their original intention.

They are about history and how history has and always changes us day by day. However the sites I photograph are objects that we have constructed to speak in a different way. They have their own voice. A voice that changes and which is never quite the same. Still they are the detritus, the remains that we have created.”
(Brian McKee, 2012)
