Lately I've become obsessed with the concept of #defamiliarisation by literary theorist Viktor #Shklovsky. Make the familiar become unfamiliar, understand a thing by making it strange. Once you recognise the principle, you see it at work everywhere. So in this photograph!

#Feininger was important to me when I started snapping as a young man. His handbook was my guide for many years, his photographs served as the standard. I now see that they are exercises in defamiliarisation.

It´s very stimmungsvoll there.

Lyonel #Feininger *17.7.1871 – 13.1.1956 Künstler, Karikaturist

Übergroßes Glück wie übergroßes Unglück kann man nicht in Worten sprechen.

Meine Schweigsamkeit ist produktiver als meine Worte.

[Vogelwolke, 1926]
