The aesthetic of me not being there

 

One doesn't have complete controle over the individual picture in the way one steps back. The force that makes the picture, the actual construction of the picture is not made by the hand it is made by the law of nature, the form that the nature takes. But one creates the situation that allows to take place. So there is a great degree of taken the helm. But there is also a situation where it is beyond, it is like another world. So there is no way you can do that. I like the aesthetic of me not being there, of the being no helm, of the looking like that there is no one there...
