Most of my work is based on the industrial, urban environment, where I capture derelict buildings in a state of transition, revealing signs of their history.

Derelict buildings are mysterious places. I am fascinated to explore forbidden spaces (as I often have to enter illegally), to discover new dimensions and to face the unexpected. Some buildings become even more beautiful by ageing, collapsing or opening up.

I look for details of the mundane world, of the 'subconscious creativity' and of functional necessity (e.g. replacement of a piece of wall, hand-installed electrical meter, painted over signs or areas of wall). Created for functional purposes in an improvised way, these details often remind me of a painting, projection, relief or a sculpture.

So, in a way, my 'details' are records of unacknowledged pieces of artwork.
