 The uncanny (Das Unheimliche) flirts with the boundary between the living and the non-living, the natural and the artificial, the hidden and the revealed. It is also associated with forms of animism, that is, with the tendency to attribute human characteristics to inanimate objects.

The photographic work that explores the thematization of this concept is based on the isolation and repositioning of various objects, organic matter, animal body parts, or parts of the figure itself. They create an ambiguity of impression – alive/inanimate, natural/artificial, intertwined/unraveled, revealed/hidden. Considering that the author cautiously examines this within a subjective context (it is certain that no other way is possible when addressing this concept), the photographs emerge as arranged scenes or fragments of scenes that invite a direct experience of what the author perceives as unsettling.
