Fabian Unternaehrer

Vertigo

With this series I was trying to seek out the hidden beauty and the uncanny behind the banalism of the everyday life. So as simple and short as it is to say, banalities hide the exceptional and vice versa. I was searching for a special atmosphere maybe best explained as “bright darkness.” Something at the same time frightening and fascinating while being beyond words to be described.
