Square

Every format has its consequences. For the past 3 years I have been fascinated by the square, usually 50 by 50 cms. This format puts things in a nutshell. Everything is in the middle and is compactly significant, there is no ‚on one side‘, no upright nor recumbant forms. I particularly like using the square for groups or couples, welding them together using the compact external shape, allowing no escape. The persons have to deal with each other, unrelentingly. Even the loners can’t escape. They have to deal with the observer.
