The format is small, yet the images are large in thought and action. The creation of still-lifes are a magical thing when done properly. They explain things, they propel your thoughts and you seek to enter this arena Birgit has created and engage in the setup. The timeless feel of her work, casts a light on the fact it transcends history, a reminder of images from the golden age of photography. The elements in the photographs are loosely assembled, similar to thought and the process of association.
