‘Proof of existence’ involves the creation of various characters, each with their unique personality
and world, captured in everyday locations and situations.
The project’s theme is to normalize the weirdness within us, celebrating our differences and
showcasing that they exist in all of us; we’re all strange characters who are a part of society.
Through our work, we aim to make a social impact by changing the way we view others. We
advocate for solidarity, open-mindedness, and greater inclusion and diversity in the media and the
world at large.
The project blurs the line between reality and fantasy, combining the documentary and the staged,
In addition to the characters the series contains still life or landscape images with the same bizarre
atmosphere. The duality between the two emphasizes the fine line between the bizarre and the
everyday.
‘Proof of existence’ is going to be published as 2nd book with Kahl Editions in 2025 in Great Britain.
