sorry, leider funktionierte das Internet nicht mehr nach dem Einstellen des Bildes und so kann ich erst jetzt, einige Stunden später, die ich meinem kurzen Nachtschlaf gewidmet, habe die Erläuterungen dazu fügen ...
Schwellenraum - die Nahtstelle zwischen zwei Welten ist ja, wie ihr vielleicht schon gemerkt habt, eines meiner Themen ob zwischen Außen- und Innenraum, zwischen Natur und Architektur, Mensch und Natur Mensch und Mensch etc. ....

“Mirrors are often regarded as offering a transparent and unbiased view of reality. In Threshold, mirrors are used to situate the viewer between reality and distorted images, encouraging self-reflection and self-awareness.
Sanaz Mazinani’s work uses intricate laser-cut mirror panels inspired by Islamic architecture. These mirrors reflect images of the viewer and intermingle them with video projections - a coming together within a fractured dimension. The video is created using multiple scenes of explosions taken from Hollywood movies, evoking Mazinani’s childhood experiences of war and conflict.
By mirroring and multiplying these scenes, Mazinani transforms the shocking explosions into kaleidoscopic compositions that captivate the visitor’s attention. Her artwork questions the over exposure and manipulation of conflict in the media industry and the distorted reality that these images create.
Sanaz Mazinani is an artist, academic, and educator based in Toronto. She works across the disciplines of photography, sculpture, and large-scale multimedia installations. Mazinani creates informational objects that invite us to rethink how we see. Her work has been shown internationally and is held in public collections including the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Aga Khan Museum.”

What is the Threshold Tool in GIMP?
It reduces the image to two colors using a threshold.
So many tools, so little time!
Dark Threshold captures the quiet tension between light and shadow, monument and man. A solitary figure approaches the vast structure, stepping into darkness — a passage that reflects on scale, solitude, and the fragile presence of humanity against timeless form.
every passage is a decision postponed. she stands at the boundary between enclosed and open, dark and light, known and unknown. the tunnel compresses space and time, creating a moment of hesitation before emergence. the wet stones hold the memory of rain, reflecting what little light penetrates this compressed world. this is not just architecture but psychology made visible - the human figure caught in the eternal moment of crossing, of becoming, of moving from one state to another. every threshold asks a question. the answer is always: forward.
beneath the heavy folds of crimson fabric, the light filters in like a muted fire. it burns against the wall, painting it in soft, fleeting hues, while the shadows linger below, stretching across the desk. the camera rests in the dark, quiet and forgotten, waiting for its moment to capture the world outside this glowing barrier. there’s a stillness here—a kind of pause between the closing of curtains and the opening of stories untold. the air feels dense with warmth, the kind that speaks of solitude and secrets. it’s not just a curtain; it’s a threshold, holding back the world as the light leaks through.
Standing at the edge of Earth, looking out into the stellar expanse. Capturing the fleeting time when the heavens are still ablaze at the threshold just before the full light of day takes over.

This image really marks a new era in my astro photography journey, it's a project that has been in the making for a year and finally sees the light of day after a deep dive into post processing, sometimes patience is key until the right moment arrives.
Last year me and two close friends had a beautiful night session at a very special rock garden in Potosi maybe an hour or so from the city of uyuni and the salt flats. It was a beautiful and very productive night, I imaged many objects at different focal lengths and I have shared some of those images previously but this one just didn't feel finished until today.
This wasn't any dawn, it was a complete spectacle, so many different objects were visible I Instantly grabbed one of my cameras and got to work. We had:
pleiades, jupiter, mars, orion, horsehead nebula, flame nebula, andromeda, triangulum, aldebaran, rigel and a stunning display of zodiacal light, it was hard to hold my excitement and keep it together to get it done, so damn beautiful my soul was crying of happiness.
Let me explain a bit of the post processing: the main image is a normal stack of 20 images at 14mm but all the objects that I have composited and blended in were imaged at 135mm that same night and the next night (orion, andromeda, pleiades) and later blended back in the most precise way possible using registar, and very useful software to do advanced stuff with like doing focal length blending, why you may ask? Well at 14mm you ain't seeing much details but at 135mm you get a lot of details and colors and then registar helped to tranform, scale and align the 135mm into their correct position at the 14mm base image, just had to do some small adjustments to get everything into place.
Clear skies and cosmic vibes! ✨
