coming and going


 
Līviv - railwaystation
photographic series 2005
 
The railwaystation of Līviv
was in the time of the former Austrian Monarchy
an impotant and central point of connection
between the eastern province of Gallizia
and the main capital of Vienna
 
Generations of people were coming and going
a lot of fates were decided on this point
 
and a lot of hopes were fullfilled
or dissapointed on this point...
 
A point where past and future
meet together

relicts II


 
fotoassemblies 2005 -2006
 
This series shows us a world which is just vanishing
whose lost beauty you can only see in relicts...
 
...relicts which remember us
and make us
curious
 
to see and to understand
 
what existed in former times...
and will not return
anymore
