Photography and art direction by Nicolas Winterstein reveals a series, Obscure Observation, depicting figures caught in strange rituals and emotionally intense spaces. The work creates a tension between being seen and being watched, reflecting insecurities in domestic environments. Objects and settings transform into stages where bodies interact with a sense of alienation, humor, and elegance. This surreal lens showcases emotional estrangement and the spectacle of identity while challenging traditional aesthetics through minimalist compositions and provocative contexts.
A frozen moment between performance and paranoia. Obscure Observation captures figures suspended in strange rituals, domestic absurdities and emotionally charged spaces, constructed yet strangely familiar.
The series reflects an instinctive response to insecurity and the lingering sense of exposure in intimate or mundane spaces. Faces become masks, postures become symbols.
Through this surreal, self-conscious lens, the work speaks to emotional estrangement and the spectacle of identity, especially when no one's watching.
By utilizing minimalist spaces and everyday objects, he creates a stage where bodies become objects and objects take on narrative roles.
