Observations | Robin Ek

I tend not to plan my work. I shoot what I’m drawn to and let intuition lead. My belief is, that if I look for a particular subject, scene or shot - perception narrows, and I risk to go blind to beauty outside of this field of search. My IG page is more sketch book than gallery. Themes and patterns emerge between single observations and it’s often at this stage of the process that I find the deeper meaning in my own work.

The notion that the state of humanity can be read and studied by the way we relate to animals is a vital thread in my work. My choice of subject relates directly to the way we use, co-exist with, and define specific animals, assigning various symbolisms to them as well as our own personal reflections.

It is my belief that the disappearance of the actual presence of animals as a given in our society greatly affects how we experience life and for example our ability to be empathetic with one another.

The gap that currently exists between animals used and seen as a food resource on one hand and the anthropomorphic use of them on the other (as they are also often depicted in visual language) contributes to an increasingly contradictory relationship. When it comes to animal topics, emotions often run high. It seems the less we are in direct contact with them, the more we lose the perspective of their true capacity and what they mean to us and we to them.

I have been observing different animals, mostly horses and dogs, within specific positions for over a decade. I’m particularly interested in the complexity of how we define value when it comes to animals as well as how we attribute value to our selves and others.

The context of my subjects is what defines each subject.
