The secret geome­try of woods

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The white of the fallen birch trees creates high-contrast lines in the forest. It could be a large inverted cipher. /// Das Weiß der umgefallenen Birken erzeugt kontraststarke Linien im Wald. Es wirkt wie eine große invertierte Geheimschrift. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

Herku­les 2022

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I encountered this motif in Prague in 2022. Hercules is a Greek hero famous for his strength, who received divine honours and was admitted to Mount Olympus. His attribute is the skin of the Nemean lion. Here we see him in stone with his twin brother Iphicles, spanned by a net. Despite obvious strength, their...

Lockdown

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I found this situation in a village in the Rhineland. The bricked-up former entrance, in combination with the mirror that points to the virtual world, seems to me to be an ideal symbol for life in the lockdown. /// Diese Situation fand ich in einem Dorf im Rheinland vor. Der zugemauerte ehemalige Eingang, in Kombination mit dem...

turn

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The throat and the neckline, as the base of the head and as a columnar turning point of the body, turned either to the left or the right, is the motif of this photographic series. Looking around, orienting oneself, turning towards and away, determing one´´ own point of view is brought to an end here...

DAS UNSICHT­BARE

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Die Textcollage fragmentiert und verschränkt literarische Zitate mit einem Covertitel des Spiegel von 2016. Folgende Sätze wurden verwendet: Es ist uns gelungen das Unbekannte zu verscheuchen, und wir sind in Sicherheit, als die erste Kultur in der Geschichte erzittern wir nicht angesichts unserer Lebensbedingungen, wir haben sie unter Kontrolle. (Karl Ove Knausgard „kämpfen“) Macht (….) besitzt eigentlich...

RELAX

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Eleven artists were invited by Zentralwerk in 2016 to work on the photo series "Raumung" with the former banquet room of the large graphic arts company VEB "Völkerfreundschaft" Dresden. The photos were always taken from the same angle. For the photography I rearranged the found things and furniture and placed two projections in the room. I...

utopia world

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The artist photographed this defective signboard on the south coast of Turkey. It points the way to a luxurious holiday resort. These resorts usually have gigantic dimensions, corresponding to the onslaught of tourists, many of whom come from Germany. The explosive nature of the current political situation in Turkey mow leaves many of these resorts...

the opened hand

This motif is a detail of an advertising poster of a financial institution in Wroclaw (Poland). The gesture is ambiguous: offering, enticing, demanding and needy at the same time...

Fall

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This pair of wings lay seperated from the body on the amazingly clean floor on the footpath in front of the artist´s apartment in Wroclaw (Poland). The body of the dove was nowhere to be seen, no more feathers. The dove symbolizes peace. Peace has lost it´s wings. The picture appears like a heraldic motif of our...
