EVERYDAY

daily photographic project
[2006-2018]

The EVERYDAY project began without intention, yet gradually, over several years, the photographs revealed my way of looking, a personal aesthetic.

I photographed in everyday life. Several times during the course of the day I stopped in my tracks because something had caught my attention. As a simple way to store the resulting photographs I put them on my website. After a while I created rules for the project:

• every day
• I select one photograph
• from those I take that day
• wherever I happened to be
• and I publish it
• without image-manipulation

Unexpectedly the EVERYDAY project evolved because I had created a feedback loop. Within the neatly arranged stream of photographs I began to notice recurring themes and a particular way of capturing them. What had started intuitively became a process of self- exploration, documenting and thereby investigating my visual perception. Over time the project has been instrumental in uncovering and developing my art practice.
