Focus on Escapism is an experimental project inspired by the period when photography made painting move away from being a document to an expressive illustrative art form. During this time painting became more abstract and impressionistic. The aim of the project is to move photography away from being a document to a more expressive and impressionistic form by mechanically reproduce painting with a camera and a lens. However it is not the aim of the project to reproduce a painting that already exists, but to deconstruct the traditional rules and people perceptions of photography. To create a new style and way of looking at the world and photography.
