ABOUT ME

I was born in 1980 in East Berlin. After graduating from the Berlin University of the Arts in 2006 with a degree in Performing Arts, I worked for several years as an actor at various theatres across Germany, collaborating with directors such as Jürgen Gosch, Luc Perceval, Karin Henkel, Amelie Niermeyer, and Rafael Sanchez. In 2013 I turned to photography and began studying at the Neue Schule für Fotografie Berlin, completing the programme in 2017. My first photographic work, The Only Thing That Matters, was published in dienacht Magazine in 2016 and subsequently released as a photobook by dienacht Verlag, edited by Calin Kruse. My second book, Greek Dog Days, was published in 2020 by Replika Publishing (Freya Copeland and Youvalle Levy). The series was reviewed by Dr. Paula Gortázar in C4 Journal and received the Volumes Award from Kunsthalle Zürich. In 2022, my work The Final Snow was invited to the Hamburg Portfolio Review and nominated for the Gomma Grant in the Black & White category. Since then I have been working on GESPENSTER, a long-term project exploring family memory, political ideology, and the afterlives of the twentieth century. The project is supported by, among others, the Fondation Tour du Monde and the Stiftung Brandenburgische Gedenkstätten. My artistic practice is hybrid — moving between documentary approaches and subjective storytelling. I am interested in how private histories mirror collective narratives, and how memory is formed, preserved, and contested.
