ABOUT ME

I was born in 1980 in East Berlin. From 2013 - 2017 I studied photography at the Neue Schule für Fotografie Berlin. My first photographic work, The Only Thing That Matters, was published in dienacht Magazine in 2016 and released as a photobook by dienacht Verlag, edited by Calin Kruse. My second book, Greek Dog Days, was published in 2020 by Replika Publishing. The book 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 and political ideology. The project was supported by, among others, the Fondation Tour du Monde and the Stiftung Brandenburgische Gedenkstätten and was exhibited in the memorial Ravensbrück and Museum Berlin-Pankow. My artistic practice is moving between documentary approaches and subjective storytelling. I am interested in how private histories mirror collective narratives, and how memory is formed.
