Jens F. Kruse Folio

     Title of the photo series „FRAGMENTS OF TIME“ 

    Each individual image already appears like a montage of different narrative layers, even though they are in fact moments I truly witnessed—moments in which reality itself seems to take the form of a collage.
    I intensify the complexity of my perception of urban life by fusing horizontal street scenes with vertical fragments of the cityscape, assembling them into a labyrinthine panorama. 

    The formal interplay between the fleetingness of the moment on the one hand, and the deconstruction of real places on the other, gives rise to a vibrant visual world full of surprises. 

    The perception of time plays a crucial role here. 

    Amid the tangle of fleeting instants, time dances along its own paths—a melody that seems to be dissolving endlessly. 

    Creating order in chaos.
    Because even in chaos, there are moments of clarity. 

    For me, it is about this:
    The joy of seeing. The joy of the moment. The joy of life. 

    My images are an invitation to reflect on how the world looks. 

    In bold, Mediterranean colors I come closer to those moments one cannot foresee—always ready to welcome the unexpected. 

    Through the creation of diptychs, new spaces are born! 

    I invite viewers to consider reality from a new perspective and to transcend the familiar boundaries of perception. 

    In these moments of stillness, not only are fragments of time revealed, but also the fragility of our own view of reality.

    'Is the unfinished at sight?' by Jens F. Kruse

    „For me, incompleteness is not a deficiency, but a space of possibilities. In my pictures, it is permissible for something to remain unfinished—a moment that can be thought through further, a story that is not told to the end. Incompleteness invites the viewer to pick up the threads themselves and spin them further. Especially in photography, which often claims to capture reality, I find it exciting when something remains open, fragmentary, perhaps even fragile—because that is precisely where liveliness arises. 

    In Fragments of Time, the unfinished becomes visible. Each work is like an open fragment that does not seek a final 

    conclusion. The montage of street scenes and urban fragments creates images that suggest rather than explain. The unfinished reveals itself in the gaps, in the ruptures, in the overlays—where perception itself remains searching. In this way, a panorama emerges that is never truly complete, but invites the viewer to 

    carry it further.“
