I started working on this series in 1998 and continuously refined it. I returned to some series because my qualitative expectations had increased in the meantime. Originally, I kept the format very small (3 x 3 inches) to create an intimacy between the image and the viewer. I've since produced some slightly larger prints of selected series. I also produced some of the gelatin silver prints as lambda prints in the dimensions 40 x 40 inches. I created about twenty of these black and white series; each of the series (except a few three-part series) consists of four to five photos that are presented next to each other in a cinematographic style or in other formations.
