The photographic work is rooted in a fascination with the city as a complex visual and spatial environment. A degree in urban and regional planning, combined with many years of professional experience in Berlin’s urban planning, shapes the perspective from which the photography has developed.
Since 2010, the Architekturkompendium Berlin has been an ongoing, long-term photographic documentation of Berlin’s architecture. The project records the city’s built environment in its diversity while documenting how it changes over time.
From this documentary work, a multifaceted photographic practice has developed. Alongside photographs of individual buildings, the focus is on form, structure, texture, and color – geometric forms, surfaces, fragments of color, and unexpected relationships between architectural elements.
