Esmee van Zeeventer
| While walking around and paying close attention to my surroundings, my desire to photograph gets triggered when events meet. It is an evocative event, a memory, a déjà vu, a feeling I cannot describe: as if something could happen at any moment. By using my camera and letting coincidences exist in darkroom processes, I want to construct a new reality, a somewhere in-between. I long to enter these undefinable places, without knowing where they lead me to. There are things I recognize, yet something feels missing. What if you can’t distinguish a daydream from reality?
