My photomicrographs reveal a world, which is only visible trough a scanning electron microscope. My aim is the sensual experience of filigree constructions and morphological details as sculptures and spaces of the microcosm.
Photmicroscopy gives us an idea of relationships in our world. The conceptual work in series makes comparisons possible and shows the variety and individuality of forms.
All series refer to the human being, remind us of embryonal and foetal development, of portraits, gestures and habitation. The microcosm seems to be strange for us, but in fact there are surprising similarities to our cosm.
The series of insects is called IMAGO (latin "image"). In zoology: adult insect which has passed through all states of development.
The series of amphibian larvae is called METAMORPHOSIS (greek), change, transformation of forms. In zoology: a development in which the hatching animal is very different from the final shape. Most of the insects but also vertebrates, like froges, are first in the state and mode of living as a larva and later change into a pupa.
The series of seeds is called EMBRYO (greek), germ of a living being. In botany: the developed plant in the grain of seed. In zoology and anthropology: the developing organism out of a fertilized egg cell, being in a cover, an egg shell or a body.
The series of crystals is called HABITUS (latin), appearence and behavior, habit. Shape of human beings, animals, plants and crystals.
The photomicrographs show the original objects with a magnification of 30 to 3000 times.
