b. 1971, Slovenia
Lately I was going through my archive of negatives … actually it started with a photo I made in the morgue when father died. Looking at the negatives of some past family events I found many photos of father lying in bed resting with eyes closed … he looked dead ’cause the pose was very static … maybe this was stupid ’cause to lie is a static action but there are different ways a persona can lie in bed … the day before he died he was lying like this on his sofa and I was asking myself what if he is dead now … it was as if
I were testing myself and getting ready for the moment.
