BEING ALONE WITH OTHERS

​​

Being alone with others is a series of photographs depicting public places such as beaches, parking lots, ski slopes and parks, places where we are part of a collective, but still remain anonymous and seperate. The situations depicted are like quiet meditations on the complex sensation of wanting to experience a sense of belonging, whilst still maintaining a distance.

The series can also be seen as a contemplation of the existential dilemma of being alone in our personal experience of life.

We are born alone and die alone.

​

The photos in the series Being Alone with Others have been taken in India, Sweden, Spain, England and USA, photographed with a tilted large format camera.
