In almost every picture #3 presents a series of photographs documenting what happens in nature. Without any of us knowing, animals of all kinds wander the forest every evening. They move invisibly and effortlessly in a natural ease with their surroundings that we as human animals have forgotten. Being curious and suspicious, we have invented a way of discovering their whereabouts with a camera that takes photographs by means of motion detection. We see animals in spontaneous poses and self-portraits sometimes with glowing, mesmerizing eyes that look like beacons. This camera technique allows hunters to track these animals during hunting season. And yet, the photographs produced are intimate encounters bridging the distance between us and what happens without us in nature.
