.The young German artist aims at showing the peculiarity and aesthetics of places that usually would not get much attention. Her work deals with the relationship between people and places and the rendering of real and artificial-like environments in everyday life. And really, while looking at the pictures of Nightwatch and other series, the spectator is forced to check and sometimes rethink his way of perception. Eirich likes to capture contrasts in her work like day and night, loud and silent, density and emptiness.
