"The concept of empiricism is very important in my way of working with photography. I come up with a theory about how a certain matter must be and then I use a kind of reverse science to make this theory come true. I make archives of hundreds of images and then start editing down the material until it confirms my theory. This method of working leads to extensive series of images. To gather evidence in support of a certain viewpoint is a central point in my work.

For example, the theory behind the series Woodland was very simple - that there is no system behind nature's design unless you wish for it be. I went into the woods in search for images that would dispel the notion of systematic design in nature. The result was a series of high contrast images of dense woodland, like line drawings, a riot of branches and harsh sunlight.

With Machina  I continued on the theme of order and disorder, this time not in nature but in the stainless steel jungle of a nanotechnological research laboratory. My idea was that as something grows more complex it also moves closer to chaos. Logic turns to anarchy when there's too much of it. The scenes from Machina are in a way similar to the ones from Woodland in that the trees have the metallic appearance of machines and the laboratory equipment has a very organic structure" Text by Mårten Lange.
