For Tomorrow

In my photographic project "For Tomorrow" (2011 - 2015) I aim to find objects in urban streets with all their beauties at unlikely spaces and would like to question stories behind their origin. What do we get motivated from to make, maintain or change things? Do we want to make our life better? Or do we carefully keep artefacts because we might be afraid of volatileness? Do we eventually always like doing and changing something or do we want to place a memorable mark for our fellow man or For Tomorrow? The objects are only fragments out of an assumed reality, although they might speak about their environment, their past and future. Can the details of this things also speak about the reason of their origin? Are we able to bring the found traces of doing into a regional, temporal and therefore also into a social context?
