Initially, I had the dream of a beautiful and calm world where humans can encounter wild animals at an equal level and where they can move freely through nature in their natural nudity. Though a beautiful idea, the implementation proved to be a challenge, but the photographic realization turned out to be overwhelming. While working on photobooks, I often experienced that by selecting single pictures to design a double page, the image pair evokes a complete new emotion or message when in combination. In the project Blurred Boundaries I created these effects intentionally, where a selected image pair are finally designed together by using certain details, brightness and contrast.
 
 At the beginning, I had an idea for a single photo which usually lead to the composition of another, more elaborately arranged image. The fruit of my labors are African fantasies, as well as a confusing imagery of the expectations and perceptions of the observer. Only after reading the location information between the frames does one see that things are not the same after a second glance.
 
 The unexpected combinations of images blur geographical and ethnological boundaries and invite the viewer to reflect upon their own boundaries.
