End of Roof 10 - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph

I have been working for a long time in the supposedly opposing fields of image and object. Leaving nothing out, allowing a lot is an important aspect of my way of thinking and working. Many things count for me, many things are important, set something in motion – or are perhaps simply beautiful. It doesn't matter if it's the 1x1m picture or a snapshot of my feet on a manhole cover. Aesthetics often lie in the very small things. Object scanography I like to combine image and object to something completely new and in these fusions I appreciate the tension of contradiction and also the unexpected, which makes the viewer wonder and raises questions. This is clearly shown in the Object scanography, because here I completely fuse the two controversial artistic areas of image and object: three-dimensional objects that I create from various materials are transferred into a two-dimensional photo by means of an old Agfa tube scanner from 1998. Printmaking & Drawing For the realisation of my typo-portraits I use my own texts and portraits. Sometimes these elements lie on several picture levels and thus take on an object-like character. I use self-created portrait photos and transform them graphically or by drawing. In the texts, I imagine fictitious moments and short scenes from the lives of these protagonists. None of this has anything to do with the person photographed. In the end, the typo-portraits are completely imagined personalities and their stories. Object Ceramics, object boxes – apart from the one-dimensional work with technical means, the antithesis is the haptic of the object. I particularly appreciate the straightforwardness of the clay, the honest earthiness is soothing. Photography Nothing is pictorial, why should it be? I look for the story in the pictures, sometimes in situations that arise and sometimes thought through.
