This series is based on photographs I took during my first months after moving to Prague. Since my work so far has been primarily dedicated to documenting the one community I was part of, I wondered where my work would go after moving to another city. I am documenting my life, in a place I cannot name, which has a huge impact on me and covers me with many feelings.
Leaving my previous city leaves me to focus on the smaller cracks in each day. My experience is overexposed and intense. I may have been this way before but it is only now that I am entering a space where my being is not overwhelmed by people, familiars, circumstances or streets I know intimately.
The main theme of this series is a text by John Fosse: "A place that is no particular place" because it is the embodiment of the absurdity of a place that I am constantly thinking about and constantly trying to name. I encourage the viewer to interact and force them to find my thoughts, which even in real life become more enclosed and inaccessible to my surroundings. I try to deal with the new space through a more subjective level, where I draw attention more to myself and where it naturally happens that people leave my photographs and replace them with empty spaces. So this zine is about me, the person I live with, the food I eat, the places I don't know. Even though photography has always mainly provided me with a frozen memory that unfolds into a complete story, these photographs remind me of nothing, and at the same time remind me of a time when I'm just looking and observing.
