Bernhard Winkler (b. 1956)
Photography is not objective and can not depict the reality, it always remains on the surface, always subjective and interpretive. It creates an illusion of reality. I want to move away from this illusion to a photograph of subjectivity, of emotion. How do I experience my environment? Isn`t my vision more dynamic than the static photo? I associatively connect everything together! My eye moves continuously in the space surrounding me, I experience things connected in time and space. How can I show this? I expose long time to make more visible. In this exposure time something is changing , something with the naked eye can not discern, but will be felt. There are things behind the visible things, the space around things will be visible and so I can find a link to my own reality, my imagination.
