Big Black Nothing by Emil Kozak

Most of my photographs are made in open nature. I grew up surrounded by fields and forests in Denmark, and now I live in a hectic big city (Barcelona). So I guess i have some kind of longing to wide open spaces.

I love feeling small and insignificant, and when that feeling sneaks up on me photograph it. Often i also provoke situations like that. In my project Big Black Nothing I consciously go from the city, and out into the wilderness at night, basically walking until i get scared, take the picture and go back.

It is an effort to explore the human boundaries… physically and psychologically speaking.
