CARINA HESPER | BLACK FIRE WHITE ASHES
"This series (still in progress) is about photographing scenes in full colour (RGB documents) that look like black and white photographs. In this project I photographed (partly) burned down locations, where the fire devastated all the memories. However the fire also recreated things, like the fire mark from a mattress that created an enormous spatial impression situated on a flat white wall.
I am fascinated by the beauty that appears after the devastation of a fire in which a new environment is created, where the colour and life are situated behind the black and white veil of ash. It is like a new, temporary reality". Carina Hesper
