Born in 1964 in Ludwigshafen, Germany, the artist ventured to Mannheim in the late 1980s. From 1983 to 1985, he resided in Koblenz, working as a documentary photographer for the military. An enthralling photo journey took him through the USA, where he worked as a farm laborer in Connecticut from 1989 to 1990.
