When did you start practicing photography? What is your professional background?
As a child, I took photos with my father, who was a proud owner of a Flexaret camera (made in Czechoslovakia). I returned to photography in 2005.
In 2005-2006 I was visiting Fotoschule (Photo school) Vienna. Since this time I began to take photography more seriously.
In my profession as an architect, I have been cooperating in many big and small projects. I have been working on some own interior projects too.
When and for what purpose did you realize these photographs or this series of photographs?
I was already longer time interesting to make various composition, but most of them where not photos but drawings. In 2011 I was seeing Polaroid exhibition in Westlicht in Vienna and I was fascinated about this medium. To make collage with Polaroid was a longer way; it was coming with making the photos.
I like to work with impossible film, because it is all- analogue. One has to think about the light and also about the temperature of the surrounding air. These two parameters give every single image a unique look.
What photographic process did you employ and what were the intended effects?
As an architect I made a lot of architecture photos. Last time I was concentrated on eastern modern architecture in Slovakia. Just now I was finishing one book about this theme. Architecture photography is technical photography and as counter-balance employs me Polaroid and analogue photography.
What are your main sources of influence (photographers, cinema, music, art…)? And for this specific work?
There are many sources, those has an influence on me. It’s for example fashion design and Coco Chanel, architecture and Zaha Hadid, pop art and Andy Warhol or Kiki Kogelnik and naturally photography and photographs as for example Trude Fleischmann, Man Ray or Vivian Maier.
Influence on me has also e lot of people around me-from my family till architects.
Which message do you want to convey through your photographs?
A lot of small common situations and common things are together one big adventure called life.
And that’s in life is important to have courage to go own way…
