Photography by Marcel Dettmann.
MY OWN SHADOW “This photo was taken spontaneously, somewhere between a break on tour and everyday life. The floor was painted, the light was harsh, and my shadow suddenly appeared oversized and fragmented. I’m fascinated by that moment when you become part of an image without actually being in it — an outline, a surface, a mood. For me, creativity is often exactly that: the space between the visible and the invisible.”
