Soft Interruptions captures subtle, absurd disruptions - small fractures in the ordinary that reveal tension, humour, and the poetic instability of everyday life.

Rooted in conceptual photography, the works lean toward a more painterly language. Shot on film and hand-printed, the process slows the image down, allowing attention to settle on texture, light, and form.

The project sits in a space that’s close to reality, but slightly misaligned. Absurd, not as exaggeration, but as a quiet disruption of function. Small shifts destabilising something familiar. The surreal isn’t constructed as a separate world; it’s already embedded in the everyday- it just needs to be revealed.

“I’m interested in that space where things almost make sense, but not quite. The absurdity isn’t comedic-it’s more about disorientation. It slows the viewer down, asking them to reconsider what they’re looking at, and how these everyday systems operate. In that sense, the surreal emerges through small shifts rather than spectacle. It’s less about creating another world, and more about revealing something slightly unstable within this one.” – Lisa Jahovic, 2026
