The work Doppelgaenger consists of 10 series with a total of 136 photographs. These follow 3 different approaches, but together they form a complete work. The photographs, conceived as a pair, always represent a special moment in the life of a protagonist from two different angles. These combine to form double images and stand for moments that change our lives permanently.
As we travel through our world, our perceptions and states change - as if our soul, with its needs, is adapting to each new place. The Special Needs series draws snippets of memory of an undefined figure in open places. The photographs are meant to be a protective place for the viewer's feelings, as the snail shell is for a hermit crab.
WIth 3 Parts the Personal Series portray the great questions of our time. They are a reconciliation with a world that is unhinged – a concession and a respectful bow to reality. In moments between nature, architecture and man, the photographs tell an almost biographical story in a very personal way. They search for answers – in places that do not ask questions.
The title is an equation in which the word code can be replaced by any term. The series illustrate the social gap between fulfilling harmony and confusing heterogeneity - man, society and nature fight insurmountably against themselves. It is about the emotional exhaustion of young generations, growing social pressure and the ruthless exploitation of our living space.
The images of the series Außenseiter are marked by the time of the lockdown. The shadowy portraits and bodies cite the creeping process of isolation. Vibrant blurs and deformed faces symbolize the fading memory of people in our lives. Bright colors suggest a thermal imaging camera - as if the artist wanted to remember the feeling of human closeness and warmth.
The works in the Spezial K series are loud, they demand attention, and they stun. They defy the rules of photography and form their very own pictorial cosmos. The respective concepts make the viewer uncomfortably aware of the dark sides of the social average. They alienate the human shell, remove the mask of visual habit and expose innermost fears.
