Atmospheric and poetic, Schalko's smartphone pictures of errant marks are transformed by his stories into beings with a life of their own
The "creatures" to be found in the first photobook by Austrian director David Schalko (born 1973) are stains and marks on streets, stairwells and walls. Through his close-up shots, accompanied by his own captions, these details transform into independent entities with a story to tell.
