I was born in East Berlin in 1975 and have been living in Geneva for over 30 years. Photography has been a part of my life since my youth, but it has only in recent years become my primary artistic practice.

My work today navigates the tension between photographic representation and painterly abstraction. Starting from wildlife photography, I question the idea of the image as a static representation. Influenced by Erik Malm, I understand photography as a processual space in which time, movement, and perception intertwine.

Through the deliberate use of long exposure times, movement is not only made visible but also becomes an active, transformative force within the image. The animals’ dynamism transfers to their surroundings, permeating landscape and space and generating emergent structures in which figure and context dissolve. Visual fields emerge in which animal and environment can no longer be read separately, but appear as a continuous flow of energy and form.

The remote regions of the North—particularly Scandinavia, Iceland, and Greenland—form the geographical and atmospheric resonance space of my work. In their simplicity and vastness, they open up a visual stage on which these processes condense.

I understand my photographs as open pictorial spaces that shift perception rather than provide answers. They invite us to rethink the relationship between visibility, time, and reality.
