RECENT WORKS
JANUARY – MARCH 2025 | RECENT CAPTURES FROM DRESDEN, COTTBUS AND GÖRLITZ, REFLECTING THE EVER PRESENT DUALITY OF MOVEMENT AND STILLNESS, AND INTIMACY IN THE URBAN LANDSCAPE.
ALMERÍA
DEEPLY TREASURED MEMORIES FROM ANDALUSIA IN SPAIN (2013-2014) SHOWCASING UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS IN A PLACE I DEEPLY MISS AND HOPE TO RETURN TO ONE DAY, FULL OF EMOTION AND BEAUTY.
KIEL
TRACES OF KIEL (2017-2019), CAPTURING THE SOUL OF A CITY I LONG FOR, A PLACE WHERE I WISH I COULD HAVE STAYED FOREVER, FILLED WITH LOVE, MEMORIES, EMOTION, AND NOSTALGIA.
NEUMÜNSTER
NEUMÜNSTER (2014-2019), THE CITY OF MY HEART, WHERE HOME LIES. A PLACE THAT EMBODIES MY SOUL, FILLED WITH WARMTH, CONNECTION, AND A SENSE OF BELONGING.
GÖRLITZ
SAXONY, GERMANY (2019-2024). EUROPE'S BEST FILM LOCATION OF THE DECADE BY THE EUROPEAN FILM COMMISSIONS NETWORK (EUFCN). THE EASTERNMOST CITY OF THE COUNTRY, MY HOMEBASE. A PLACE THAT EMBRACED ME WITH OPEN ARMS, MY CHOSEN EXILE, A CITY OF PEACE THAT HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME — ALMOST TOO GOOD.
DRESDEN
SAXONY, GERMANY (2019-2024) A PLACE OF ENDURING FASCINATION AND INSPIRATION, WHERE EVERY CORNER HOLDS A STORY AND EVERY MOMENT IS FILLED WITH CREATIVITY. IT EMBRACES ME IN A WAY THAT IS BOTH COMFORTING AND UNEXPECTEDLY DEEP.
BAUTZEN
SAXONY, GERMANY (2019-2024), A PLACE OF AMBIVALENT FEELINGS FOR ME — MAGICAL AND ENIGMATIC, DRAWING ME IN WHILE PUSHING ME AWAY, A CONTRAST I’LL ALWAYS CARRY WITH ME.
ZGORZELEC
LOWER SILESIA, POLAND (2019-2024), A STRANGE PLACE I STRUGGLE TO CAPTURE PHOTOGRAPHICALLY, YET IT MAKES ME FEEL FREE — ALMOST CHILDLIKE. SURREAL, LIKE A PARALLEL WORLD TO ME.
ZITTAU / LÖBAU
SAXONY, GERMANY (2022-2024), PLACES WITH A STRONG PULL ON ME. THE MARKET SQUARES WITH THEIR HISTORIC TOWN HALL MOVE ME, AS IF I’VE LIVED THERE BEFORE, MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE.
COTTBUS (HIGHLIGHTS)
BRANDENBURG, GERMANY (2023-2024), A PLACE THAT ALSO RESONATES DEEPLY WITH ME, REMINDING ME OF HOME IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. DESPITE MY PLANS TO VISIT AND PHOTOGRAPH IT MORE OFTEN, FATE HAS REPEATEDLY INTERVENED, DELAYING MY PROJECT.
BERLIN (HIGHLIGHTS)
GERMANY (2012-2015), I LEFT BERLIN IN 2015, HEARTBROKEN, AFTER LIVING THERE FOR 10 YEARS. I HAVEN’T RETURNED SINCE, BUT I WILL ONE DAY. THIS PROJECT WILL BE MY MOST AMBITIOUS YET — I JUST NEED TIME TO PREPARE AND FIND THE RIGHT MOMENT.
