This work navigates the space between representation and reality, utilizing the specific coordinates of the Wundsorf Forest in Brandenburg, Germany—a landscape marked by a long, militarized history. In these two photographs, the taught ropes act as a literal and figurative line of inquiry, a tool to measure and delineate space. Yet, the camera lens, a technological instrument of precision, records a paradox: the ropes, which in reality converge, appear to run in parallel. This illusion is a critical point of focus. It speaks to the fallibility of our perception and the way technology mediates our understanding of the world.

Through this series, I have focused less on capturing a scene and more on studying the unseen forces that shape it. The titles, grounded in precise geographical data, anchor the work in a specific historical and physical location, disrupting the notion of the image as a timeless, aesthetic object. Instead, the photographs serve as documents—fragments of a historical site viewed through the lens of a technological paradox, inviting the viewer to consider the lines of history, memory, and perspective that converge in this single, critical point.
