Patrick Botter Auteur Photographique
Biography
I am a visual artist who uses photography as my ultimate means of expression. My works reveal and blend the most intimate aspects of my personality with my feelings about a world hurtling toward disaster. Through my staging, I exorcise my inability to find my place in this world and attempt to question, alert, and make each of us intimately aware that if I, if we, do not change, I, we will inevitably “hit a brick wall.” Through the ridiculousness of what I am, what we have become, I try to reveal the few traces of hope that remain.
