Tchetchik divides his time between personal projects and documentary assignments; many times each approach provides inspiration for the other. His editorial work has appeared on platforms of the New York Times, The New Yorker, Frankfurter Allgemeine, Myself Magazine, and Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Artist's statement:
"Through my practice, photography, I investigate my natural surroundings. It is a search for visual descriptions and reflections of a contemporary emotion in the landscape and people. My work is displayed both as a photographic series as well as published in artist books, the different platforms present the fascinating possibility of changing narratives with the same photographs. I work with film that often has been exposed to radiation and kept in harmful conditions in order to uncover features of both the photographic medium itself and the subjects in the works.
My latest work Sunburn, is a body of work which explores the aftermaths of the warming climate on the human condition. Sunburn approaches the element of light not in a romantic manner, but rather through an approach that aspires to reflect the essence of its source."
