Amnema is a fictional supernatural entity, the muse of oblivion in the urban environment. Amnema walks among the streets, houses and people like a spirit that penetrates the mind, personifying an alternate reality of fantasies and dreams that absorb the consciousness of city dwellers. This series of photographs with elements of surrealism (related to the creative world of Paul Delvaux and other like-minded artists) attempts to show the invisible individual inner worlds that exist simultaneously with public everyday life. In this case, the camera plays the role of a spiritual instrument, inside which hidden secrets are captured, since all images in this series are obtained by multiple in-camera exposures and with authentic optical effects without the use of software overlays.
