Hermine Patch, a Slovakian-born fine art photographer based in London, specializes in staged portraiture and still life. Drawing inspiration from architecture, interior design, and science fiction aesthetics, she meticulously selects locations shaping the narrative and mood of her imagery.


The central theme in her works is the exploration of the liminal space “in between” reality and fiction. She endeavours to transport the viewer into a realm of the unknown, yet familiar place, where the space and time blurs into an indefinite continuum. Analogous to the experience of drifting through the cosmos, she opts for settings reminiscent of spaceship interiors, fostering an immersive, sensory environment inviting introspection and contemplation.


Patch's artistic vision is rooted in the profound existential inquiries that naturally arise when confronted with the vastness of outer space. For her, the cosmic journey serves as a metaphor for the human condition. Without the outside world interfering, the attention turns inevitably inwards. The compositions are an impulse to initiate this process, dissolving the past and future into the purity of presence.
