Thailand, MMXVI | There’s a psychedelic aspect to most of my work, focused as it is on superimposed planes of reality merging into surrealism. This image, however, was made under the influence of LSD, during a day spent meandering the Railay Beach peninsula in Krabi, Thailand. I was on my own, and the acid took hold of me quite powerfully, and beautifully. I think I walked the same circular path around the peninsula at least six or seven times, as any sense of direction and geographic orientation melted away like the cliff faces towering up from the sapphire ocean. With one roll of film loaded in my camera, I managed to make a series of multiple exposure photographs before my motor functions became entirely scrambled.

This one is my favourite from that day, and sketches a surprisingly accurate representation of my vivid, discombobulated recollections. It took few weeks until I had the film developed, but as soon as I saw this frame, the colours and sounds and tastes and insights flooded back instantaneously.

Half-Imagined: Selected analogue works (2006-2020) collection image

'Half-Imagined' is a collection of multiple exposure photographs, made on 35mm film between 2006 and 2020. It focuses primarily on South African landscapes, but includes images from travels to other countries. In fact, just about all of them were made on an adventure of some sort, and as such try to evoke my fascination with – and immersion in – new environments.

These analogue photographs strive to elicit the confusion that nostalgia stirs up within us, when we recall the most beautiful experiences in our lives: jostled between the urge to return, and the knowledge that these unique moments in time and space are now gone forever.

How much of what we remember is real, and how much is imagined? The notion of a perfectly preserved recollection is surely an illusion. Made as multiple exposures on film, these surreal postcard scenes suggest a certain artistry at play in the formation of memories.
