Sometimes I photograph people and wonder if they are happy, 2004

These series of six photographs (4 shown here) were taken during a six month residency in Basel, Switzerland. The document the lives of strangers along the Rhine. The work was a kind of melancholy exploration and meditation on the people and their relationships which I observed but did not directly engage with. I also explored the formal qualities of the images and used these as part of a methodology to string this series of images together.
