Statement

Photography is an expression of my relationship to the world. It consists of discovering and preserving things that seem to be endangered at the time they are photographed. With my pictures I thus raise questions about the meaning of human action. By dealing with art and culture, the special view for the contemporary and for what of it is historically significant grew. Everyday and industrial culture are essential subjects. The work Kulpoche - synonym for the epoch of the late GDR - stands for my concern. On the other hand, it also reflects a preservation of farewells. In the series Carrara I show a bizarrely beautiful, man-made environmental catastrophe. At the time of photographing, I regarded this as a tragic actual state. The central motif is the price nature and landscape - and thus man - have to pay for the continuing marble quarrying. My photographic view of works of fine art is primarily concerned with the sculptural. This has been reflected, among other things, in my photo essay about the figure world of the Italian Sacri Monti. The works of art are of central importance to me. For the photographs of the Transmission series, I depicted the infrastructure of wireless communication. Even if electromagnetic waves are invisible, they exist, visibly present through the devices of their utilization. Besides, they are also hallmarks of the permanent accessibility of each individual in globalized communication. The sculpturally photographed antennas and radio masts are at the same time lures for the viewer, who might soon ask himself something: What will follow this beautiful technique?
