        I have been experimenting with in-camera multiple exposures for a long time and often. I am invariably attracted by the effect of “estrangement” and some natural irrationality of the image, not “from the head”, but with all its irregularities and accidents. Sometimes new connections and meanings arise, sometimes completely unexpected. The excitement of the hunt, the longing for painting and polyphony at the same time.
