Fragments - winner of Helsinki Photo Festival 2020 - Trust

In this project I have chosen to use the photographic medium in its original analogue form to question the perception of images and confront the viewer with the implications of fragments, manipulation and exclusions. The objective is to make the viewer question what “truth” is. We live in a time with more information than ever before however facts or “alternative facts” are used and often misused to confirm individual points of view. This is the post-truth era where we no longer seek the truth behind facts, but rather choose the fragments which support our pre-conceived beliefs.
