Statement

I am interested in people and places, landscapes and portraits, stories and history. I like to search for and find my subjects most here in Germany. In front of my front door I succeed best to dive deeply into a work. This way I am usually not under time pressure and can sometimes try out different approaches or artistic concepts. It gives me pleasure when a work develops slowly and when I notice how the knowledge about a topic changes and shifts the topic itself. In the end there are often more questions than answers. I don't like photos that claim something and I hope that my work is "neutral" in the best sense. That despite the realism of my journalistic or documentary work, they do not impose a viewpoint on the viewer. Aesthetically pictorially but also conceptually, my search increasingly revolves around the question of how close or how distant I can look at an object and a subject. How much form and how much perfection is actually necessary?
