KLAUS RUCKGABER M.
My teenage years were driven by an impulsive need to defy and question the beliefs I had been brought up with. I pushed away what others saw as normal, chasing distraction to quiet the lingering sense of impending anxiety, even if only for a moment. That constant search for new experiences often led me to unfavorable outcomes, affecting not only myself but the people I held dear. I lost my footing and let myself go.
Photography entered my life during this tumultuous time. Slowly I realized the power this medium held over me: the ability to observe not only the world around me but also myself. What began as a compulsion to rebel and to explore the unknown became a drive to see more clearly, to try and understand why one suffers, and why others impose pain. Photography became a medium in which I could transform my impulses into a deeper act of witnessing.
