Through the practice of wandering, I am attentive to the disruptions in our daily environments and ephemeral moments. I concentrate my attention on urban objects, details or people that seem banal at first but in which I perceive a form of error and a kind of divergence. 

My images contain abandoned, hand-made, DIY, and ephemeral objects that I collect with my camera. Through framing and sometimes staging, the photography brings out the singular, visual, and sculptural presence of these situations often produced by the randomness of human interventions. I see beauty, sense, and humour in small, almost invisible things that we tend to overlook. 

The things are not as they seem to be.

Czech photographer Stanislav Palát is the definition of a one-man creative army. In the true spirit of “if it doesn’t exist, make it yourself”, he handles his own set design, lighting, makeup, 3D modelling, accessories, grading, and an array of other skills. The result is photographs with a touch of “Neo-Romantism”, fantasy, and exciting imaginary worlds, straddling the line between a fairytale and a fever dream. Enjoy the interview with the artist below.
