One of my favorite ways to look at the world is through the lens of a camera. This page shows a selection of some of the images I’ve captured, mostly using a Nikon, with a few very exciting detours into the analogue world.
Trip to India, 2021
In the midst of Covid, we traveled to Delhi and spent three weeks surrounded by a world that was completely alien, and completely amazing – I had never experienced such a thrilling culture shock, and I immensely enjoyed it. I still dream of dusty air, the sky muffled in a stuffy white blanket, the incessant horn honking, monkeys and cows using the streets just as normally as the people, and the delicious taste of milky chai drunk on a dirty lawn chair by the road.
Holga camera in Graz
These pictures are from the first reel of film I put in my Holga camera after my lovely mother gave it to me as a Christmas gift in 2024. They’re a bit of an experiment.
Various pictures from the past few years
Not all of these are from a specific era or project, at least not that I can remember. I like the way they muddle together by feeling – a little piece of Amadea.
„Skinsack“ series
These photos were taken over the course of about a month, specifically for an exhibition with two friends at the Kunst Klub Kräftner, 2024. The exhibition was called „Haus, Hund, Hengst“, or in English, „House, Horse, Hound“, and offered a space for the three of us to explore the relationship between the human body and the mind, each using our own unique artistic approach.
