Usually the first question asked about interrogation rooms is how did I get in to photograph them.

“I asked for a permission” is my regular response. Second one is about lie detectors, which I haven’t seen anywhere. Of course more interesting question would be why I started the project?

Photography has always been an reason for me to challenge myself. To see new places and find answers to questions I’m thinking. I chose interrogation rooms because of curiosity, I had never been in one before. But now that I have seen a few, I can say that there is always the pre-set of power in the rooms and naturally the police is in charge. In a way me with a camera turned it all upside down. I had the power over PR-people, detectives and even police commissioners. I had access to a place not usually shown, and all they could do was to wait in the hallway while I did my thing.

The final question usually asked is what kind of photography I do? I don’t really have the answer to that. I don’t see my work on the interrogation rooms documentary. I don’t really believe my photographs being objective, it is always just my interpretation of reality. There is always sides in photography, just like in interrogations. So I just say I photograph humanity without the humans.
