The Path to Abstraction
Photographing the road
I believe that, although photography is always somehow based onreality, every photograph is only partly objective, and is always aninterpretation of that reality.
 
By adding non photographic techniques to thephotographed object - like painting, manipulation or image"treatment" by computer – one can approach abstraction.
My intention is to freephotography from its traditional “obligation": that is, the "closestinterpretation" of visible reality. I am interested in the dissolution ofthe object - but without totally losing the perception of the original - and inpromoting color and shape as a means of expression in its own right. Just as ifKandinsky had used photography.
