Man steps in front of our Lord, the almighty.
Risen from the earths womb.
Broken through the fall of man.

Being brought up in a religious family, Moses Omeogo has always been interested
in topics surrounding belief and mythology. Therefore, it happened quite naturally
that the choice for this project was biblical in nature. In this body of work he visualises
the process of creation and the fall of man according to the old testament.

creatures gluide through the heavenly realm
molded by earth, walking amongst it’s brethren

the companion’s creation

Eve

“In his series Urpsrung, Moses Omeogo examines the borders of
the
photographic practice. But is that still photography? He combines and
splits images,
adds various graphic elements and reassambles them with body
fragments.
Thus enhancing the scope and depth of his imagery. This is
fantanstic and
a prime example for artistic collage. Therefore, the clear
winner
of this years award in the category experiments with photography.”
