“What are you photographing? I can’t see anything to photograph there…”

Over the course of the past two years, I have taken a couple of photographs with no obvious subject. These images exuded emptiness, the lack of a main actor, a bit like what Michael Kenna calls “the empty stage after the play.” It’s not that I have been looking for the images. I just found them. Looking for something to photograph, I just halted and felt compelled to take the picture, often without consciously knowing why.

These images don’t give any simple answers to the question, why I have taken them in the first place. If you will, the subject of these photograph is the lack of a subject in itself. I am aware of how weird this may sound. That’s why I called the images in this series “There’s Nothing to See.” They are not so much about what is in the frame, but more about the emotions the lack of the subject evokes in the viewer… and the interpretations he is there forced to make all on his own and without any visual guidance by the image. There’s nothing to see.

As usual, you can click on an image to view it in enlarged in an almost distraction-free lightbox. Enjoy the trip into your image-reading self.
