TITLE: I Encounter (Ich Begegnung)

These photos were taken by me in October 2016 in Cologne. Showing always the same person twice, these portraits show the encounter with oneself. It is about that brief moment when two versions of one person see or meet each other. It is about love, about hate, about admiration, about astonishment and happiness when you look upon yourself.

Shot digital and converted into black and white, these portraits shall be timeless as if they could have happend a long time ago, just today or any day coming.
