BOUNDARIES
The “Boundaries“ project focuses on the separation of two
countries by a defined political “line“. I am, however, not
interested in actual border crossings but deal with the natural
inconspicuous geography of borders. Nature does not know
where one country ends and the next begins. Nature does not
divide territory by religion, race or nationality. The photographs
of this series show various “invisible” boundaries and thereby call
attention to the general idea of borders and their ambivalence.
During a time of globalization, growing independence but also
of isolation and inequality the “Boundaries Project” invites the
viewer to reflect upon the status quo of global politics and
challenge geo-poetic awareness and sensitivity.
TURNAROUND
Turnaround shows a series of portraits, which involve people from
different generations who belong to a wide range of cultural context.
Contrary to the conventional portrait the person is photographed
from behind. Thus the beholder follows the line of sight of the artist
“looking into the world” with the portrayed person. The series deals
with contemporary perception within the context of portraiture and
establishes a different position for interpretation and imagination.
The series examines external appearance and inner experience –
The ambivalence of space.
