Avalon is a mystical place, the island of apples (symbols of perfection and eternity) where miracles happen and deadly wounds are healed. A place of magic, located somewhere between this and the other world. A Utopia. Paradise.

For this series, I have partly mounted several images digitally, partly placed objects onto the image and photographed the ensemble, and partly I combined both montage techniques. The analog/real and the digital/virtual worlds, the tangible and the intangible, meet. Avalon is ever-present and ever-illusive, right here and unfathomably far away.

Tiny particles of dust on some of the photos, small signs of imperfection, appear to be stars in the sky when looked at from a distance.

The circular shapes - white pearl and blue marble - are like different aspects of an apple´s being.

Letters, syllables of exclamation, are like a secret code, a secret language.

A blue gown, a still-life of shoes, red piece of clothing and a book, pieces of wood, arranged like a group of people, maybe a couple could be traces of humans? Angels? Fairies?

The sun rises over a peaceful sea - or does the sun set?
