sitzen - rest - repòs 

Sitting, in the context of rest, is by nature a temporary state. It signifies a pause, an interruption of movement, a moment when time seems to stand still. When we sit down to rest, our body relaxes and there is a shift in consciousness. We begin to distance ourselves from our surroundings and forget, for a moment, about the people around us. Sitting is a moment of connection with yourself, whether physically or mentally.

It can be done individually or in a group, and it does not mean that there has to be social interaction. Sometimes physical interaction is enough to find peace.

There are no cultural or geographical boundaries to sitting. It is this moment of calm, this universal movement of stillness, that was tried to be capture. A movement that has no movement. The connection between posture and state of mind is clear.

The book brings together moments and situations together in a collection of images - from groups to individuals - showing people in moments of rest or simply in a state of stillness. Each photo is accompanied by an expression of my personal feelings.
