In surf culture, the term Perfect is used extensively as a superlative: “It was perfect, perfect conditions, perfect waves.” Perfect as a superlative means somehow that nothing needs to change.

This word contrasts in each monochrome as the letters are in exact complement color against the single-colored surfaces. This turns into a closed circuit in light. Precise complementary colors and photographs that do not seek to capture moments but instead exact meetings – a sculpture of photography. 

Photography as a medium has, in our time, begun to lose its connection with a historical past more and more. It is no longer about when photographs are getting shot that is essential, but rather when they are getting shared and in what contexts. If you push this a bit in theory, the historical nostalgic aspect, which was previously characteristic of photography, changes and becomes instead a constant here and now.

On the walls, these photographs hang in different constellations, and in different numbers, depending on how they play with the rest of the room. In terms of content, they repeat exactly, except that the colors differ considerably. The exact color coordinates are also inscribed in the titles. The images consist of monochrome surfaces and on each surface the word Perfect is written with Helvetica as the font.

Technically, they are made digitally, and then printed at a professional photo lab. Although the light is important, there is no camera involved and as a photographic genre it is about technical images.
 
The pictures represent an exact meaning and content. As written; It is not a photographic practice attempting to convey moments. These are photographs that want to create exact meetings.
