BREATHINGS2006-

An ongoing project that consists of still pictures, size of a breathing, with often urban landscapes and wanderers of those landscapes absorbed in their own daily chores. “Breathings” observes the place of an individual in a (mostly) man-made landscape and disappearance of self in it. Lonely melancholy, rush, travel, therapy, everyday life, play and adventures.

On another level the project is, and has been, a series of breaths for myself, detachment from daily routines, still moments while on holidays, meditative roves, disappearance of time and place. Each picture lives and tells a story that is open to the interpretation. Almost every photo holds within somehow significant moment from my own life.

While photographing and teaching photography for a living I am used to being always present as well as to directing the making of the photos. This project has gives me a chance to recede from the role of an active operator into a role of an observer and a documentarist.
