"The picture by itself tells more than my words can". This statement by the photographer provokes the viewer to develop his own phantasies while looking at his pictures. The viewer's reflections on the photograph inspire messages, stories the photographer may have wanted to transport through his picture. The imaginary story may even mingle with the viewer's own experiences or memories, thus weaving variations and encores into the orginially conceived message. The basis for this are the picture's contents and imagery.
So, single pictures tell their stories, but what happens if you juxtapose two pictures? To find out and demonstrate, is this book's intent. Looking at two pictures simultaneously, the viewer will find exciting relations between the two photographs. Eventually he/she will arrive at a diferent point of view. Side by side the individual imagery of the pictures will be modulated because in his/her phantasies the two pictures "chat" with each other, be it in dispute or in harmony. Anyhow, new stories will arise.
