We are Beautiful Dreamers

"Make your own kind of Music" ©Mama Cas Elliot. "Given enough time, everything becomes beautiful." Reach out and touch me at : stevens[dot]axel[at]gmail[dot]com -> I'm showing pictures of my work, stuff that inspires me, pictures from projects I work on and pictures that live in my head. I'm a bricoleur who uses black and white, polaroid, colorfilm,slidefilm,found materials, cutouts...My inspiration comes from books, movies, music, advertising, art, magazines and my head is filled with a constant murmle. I can't turn of the switch. I live in a constant stream of images. All photographs and works on this site are © 2017 "Axel Stevens (My name's axel)" - all rights reserved.

“Aesthetically, one might describe this condition as opacity in broad daylight: you could see anything, but what exactly and why is quite unclear. There are a lot of brightly lit glossy surfaces, yet they don’t reveal anything but themselves as surface. Whatever there is — it’s all there to see but in the form of an incomprehensible, Kafkaesque glossiness, written in extraterrestrial code, perhaps subject to secret legislation. It certainly expresses something: a format, a protocol or executive order, but effectively obfuscates its meaning. This is a far cry from a situation in which something—an image, a person, a notion — stood in for another and presumably acted in its interest. Today it stands in, but its relation to whatever it stands in for is cryptic, shiny, unstable; the link flickers on and off. Art could relish in this shiny instability — it does already.”
