"Church Reflections" is an in 2022 started and still ongoing series, which documents reflections seen through church windows. The series is resulting out of Reflection Nr. 1., a picture with certain theme emphasizing particularities such as the depicted bird, which had by coincidence temporarily trapped itself inside, and the custom picture frame that transforms out of the window frame. (Detail images are displayed on the starting page.) The interest in reflections of this kind, caused by that first picture, led to the visit of all approximately 1000 churches and chapels in the Austrian state of Carinthia and a few beyond. The photographic material collected in the course of that is now being selected and processed into final pictures. A task that, in order to achieve a clear, authentic depiction, requires to work around certain technical difficulties. For instance, the fact that, with the intention of capturing a wide view without appearing myself in the reflection, a panorama, taken from marginally different positions, needs to be manually puzzled together in a way that my own reflection remains concealed. By now, the collected photo material is processed to approximately 65%, the completion of the series can be expected by early 2026.
