The deepest part of writing fiction involves going to
(and coming back from) the other world...

During the extensive times I spend on the road I often wake up in this world, and comes evening I find myself somewhere else, in a different world. The days often are spent driving along the paths connecting these realities, and others.
In this project I embrace all the poetic liberties colour photography has to offer. From exposure to print I dive deep into the medium's ressources; I keep a stock of various films (4x5 and 8x10) and choose carefully which of them, plus exposure and developement, will do justice to my impression. Strong final touches and some secret sauce are added in the darkroom.
Otherworld is a celebration of colour photography.
This is an ongoing series that already spans more than 20 years.
