I don't search for things, I find them. The poetry of the ordinary appears in passing.

Tom Bäcker

Berlin boy Tom Bäcker started out in the world of business, but since 2006 he has devoted himself to photography. Self-taught, he considers himself less of a photographer, more of an artist who “writes with images.” His pictures mainly depict typography, billboards, adverts and signs – in an attempt to open these up to new interpretations. By focusing on such specific elements of our everyday lives he wishes to provide an abstract version of reality – a reality interpreted through geometric shapes, structures and repetition.
