With no artistic or work related aims (“A professional takes a photograph to prop up in the surrounding world”, explains the designer “For me photography is a closed loop, I take photographs and it is all around me”).
Snapshots then – mostly taken when travelling – are a means of documentation, taking notes of memories, impressions and ideas. Where however architecture is always at the centre. One is made of stones, cardboard boxes and string, put up for fun during travels in Spain between 1972 and 1974 and then photographed and commented on with brief phrases and witty reflections on the environment and the relationship between space and who lives in it – we are in the times of radical architecture. Another (1976-78) reflects on the human figure in daily life.
