The «original» photographs were taken with a digital camera, then re-photographed from a TFT-display with a medium-format camera and, finally, traditionally enlarged on black and white photographic paper. The resolution of display of the «originals» (1280 x 960 pixels) determined the final format of 50 x 40 cm, giving in effect a resolution of 24 «pixels» per centimeter. While, beheld from a distance, the images seem quite ordinary, when approached, they reveal their discreet structure.
