„A Good Housewife Will Jump Over a Fence to Grab a Single Feather“

Washing and reusing microtene bags, scenting underwear with orange peels, or drying shredded parsley, as well as a large number of other small and large things - these are the ways my Granny treats things. She is constantly saving. For me, this approach to life means much more. It has become the world of Grandma’s rituals, her personal folklore, which is slowly disappearing, leaving a considerable feeling of nostalgia in me.

Sometimes I feel like being in a different world, hidden behind a mirror. I try to capture individual moments, to document them in a way August Sander used to map a whole nation. In my typology, represented by several sets, I gradually map and document everything and try to use different approaches. I am not showing individual examples, offering a look at the whole series, similar to „somebody“ photographing a kilogram of strawberries, nicely one after one.
