“Johnnie Walker on the beach” is a series of cinematic photographic images showing still life and human subjects from contemporary times in a unique abundance and immediacy. The idea of the “paparazzo of the daily routine”, who hides to shoot his pictures and stays undiscovered, and who is not aiming at revealing the careless and intimate aspects of life but in honouring them, represents an homage to the “observation of the observer” and to the film “Blow-up”: the different atmospheres in this film have always continued to fascinate me.
With a delayed triggering due to technical reasons, shots of the moment are created that cannot be foreseen, leading to a diverse range of observed situations and atmospheres in the public space in a variety of seasons. In this way, overlooked moments are made visible: a cinematic photo-book project with over 1300 images in five volumes in a Japanese binding.
