Blear is not a documentation, it is an interpretation. A photographic narrative that
captures nightlife as it is experienced — not sharp, not linear, but murky, blurred,
intense. Blear means ‘haze’, ‘confusion’ — a state in which boundaries are blurred:
between people, between emotions, between reality and intoxication.
In this project, photography is elevated to graphic art. Images are digitally edited and
graphically distorted, whereby the boundary between photo and illustration is
deliberately removed. What remains is a layered artistic impression: raw, alienating
and honest.
The core of this work is the colour palette. The images are divided into three dominant
colours — ''The Colours of the Night" — each with its own identity and expression.

​

​

Color I – Green

The in-between world. Green represents the boundary between reality and dream. It is the color of confusion, alienation, but also of hope. Green is the hallucinatory moment when the night whispers: “Is this real?” It symbolizes transition, both personal and social.

​

Color II – Blue
The silence between the sounds.
Blue is melancholy and reflection. It is the moment after the climax, when the
gaze is on infinity and the soul withdraws for a moment. Blue reveals the loneliness
that often lurks beneath the surface of celebration.
 

Color III – Red

The heartbeat of the night. Red stands for passion, desire and danger. It captures moments of ecstasy, impulsiveness and physicality. In red, the night shows itself in its rawest and most fiery form — the moment when the beat takes over the body and one loses oneself for a moment.
