Anikó Robitz
1978, Nagykanizsa
Ever since I was young, time by time images came across I couldn't forget. I stored them and I believe those photographs led me to take pictures myself too.
In 2005 when I signed in to ‘Szellemkép Szabadiskola’ school I studied analogue photography.
After a while I found what I am looking for and how to show them. I explored architecture for myself. I started to take pictures of building details and I figured out how to compose my pictures. I find those details in the built environment around us.
I only use the geometrical elements for the composition, not the whole building and its surroundings. The walls, shadows, electric wire, or even the sky itself are presented in my photographs. Like this the chosen detail is divided from the original reality and creates a new one. I’m researching how the original relates to the newly created part. Where is the point when the chosen new is not recognisable anymore, where is the point when and where this transformation changes place.
