Although basically belonging to this genre, Evers’ work, however, distinguishes itself through the corruption of its very own parameters. Photo material from his own camera, from his cell phone, photographed pictures or stills from film sequences form the basis of his sketches. Evers gradually combines the individual elements together in the photo developing process in the darkroom until they become a clear and simple, at times also shadowy, composition. In the sense of the medium reflecting upon itself, they describe the development process of the image as well as result in the creation of a new picture. Hidden behind the often abstract image surfaces are countless pictorial spaces. Moreover, his method hardly tolerates repetition—the motifs are most often one-of-a-kind.

Evers sees the camera simply as a piece of equipment that, besides being another source of images, is an equal participant in the work. In this, the artist is operating in a wide-ranging artistic field of reference that can be linked to the experimental photography of the New Objectivity and other Modernism revisions as well as current issues of copyright and the criticism of authenticity associated with it.
