This series was created as part of a scientific work on abstract photography in the discourse of the 21st century, exploring the extent to which the creation of abstract photography can be brought about through an artistic process. In the dialogue between visual perception and the reflection of blurring techniques, this series opens up an in-between world that is explored through photographic abstraction. 

The parameter of blur has accompanied photographic art discourse since the medium's beginnings and represents an important aspect in the establishment of photography in the system of the arts. Exploratory and experimental work with defocusing, movement of the camera, longer exposure times, underexposure and overexposure, and shallow depth of field as means of design and expression have continuously abstracted from an essentiality of photography — sharpness — which seems to be inevitably anchored within our society with a correct photographic image. Blur dissolves the identifiability of the representational, relegates it in favor of abstraction and form, and abstracts fragments of reality. This creates an ambivalent relationship to photography's fidelity to the image, as it has often been attributed to it since its beginnings. In addition, the blur in this series takes a metaphorical place in that it embodies the process of deceleration, arising from a subjective view. Thus, it is related to a theme relevant to the photographer — deceleration within the botanical environment. The choice of the portrait format of the photograph brings about another level of abstraction of human vision. In the abstract photographs of Zwischenwelten pt. 1, the object or the real motif does not appear in itself, but the idea and the design are objectified and take the place of the real motif. The medium of photography as an individual space of experience comes to the fore.
