Utopia
Support this photographer - share this work on Facebook.
In my work "Utopia" I try to present anxiety. Anxiety does not arise, we create it. Utopia is derived from the Greek word ou + topos meaning non-place. A place that does not exist, as well as anxiety, and also the room on photographs are not real. I make models, rooms, in which nature is detained. Nature represents a man. A man trapped in his own world, a man who lives his ideas. Utopians are people who are looking into the future, utopian reality is unattainable, utopia is more like an idealist dream of a man who knew a lot, but couldn’t do much about it.
