“Mama Ahoy” is a series of photographs alluding an approach towards the state of drunkenness. Intoxication impairs mental faculties and creates a loss of orientation with reality. It is a journey into a desire in which the destination, as well as the (deserted) place of origin, is reproduced, - not as reality, but as a path. A path that is wearily pursued over and over again- uncertain if the destination wants to be reached. The coordinates of actual space appear as ignis fatuus.

The basic medium of the work is a thermography in which cameras detect infrared radiation and produce images of that radiation. The process is used to capture the heat emitted by a body. This trace is combined and assembled with a photograph of the real focal points of space. However, by overlapping an infrared image of space, a camera obscura simulacrum has been achieved and the image possesses no depth of focus, and has been distorted and warped. This space has been further modified by digital artistic manipulation and reinterpreted into a dreamlike scene.
