Det digitala möter det fysiska i verket I Dream of Screens, en serie fotogram som intresserar sig för den absorberande digitala världen. Katalysatorn för verket var ett intresse för hur överdrivet internetanvändande kan påverka kropp och sinne, så väl som intresset för människors abstrakta förbindelser i den digitala eran. Fotogrammen har till stor del tillkommit genom en kameralös teknik där ljuset från en smarttelefon samt kroppsliga rörelser lämnat avtryck på ljuskänsligt fotopapper.


Digital meets physical in I Dream of Screens, a series of works which is concerned with the absorbing online world. The catalyst for the work was an interest in how excessive internet use may affect the mind and body, as well as the abstract nature of human connection in the digital era. The photograms are largely created with cameraless techniques using light from smartphone screens and bodily gestures, which leave their imprint on light-sensitive photographic paper.
