Maker of Lenses

I am a German multidisciplinary artist working across photography, collage, creative coding, artificial intelligence, sound, and animation. Through the experimental use of contemporary tools and new media, I interrogate static societal ideas of memory, perception, and identity.

When I create, it stems from an overwhelming need to find understanding—of both myself and my surroundings—which makes my art a deeply personal exploration of the human experience. In this endeavor, my use of tools is inherently and intentionally experimental, driven by the curiosity "to see what it does" and "to see what it becomes."

To achieve this understanding, I believe we must adopt various points of view and observe things through different lenses. I therefore employ various mediums that serve as such lenses to simultaneously look inward and outward.

My background in photography is central to the practice of making lenses. I continually grapple with its limitations—its static incompleteness and reductive two-dimensional state. Yet, photography maintains a societal status of truthfulness and absoluteness, shaping our reality, ways of seeing, self-perception, and memory.

Shifting between figuration and abstraction in my work, I strive to deconstruct and disassemble these rigid structures by envisioning possible tomorrows and exploring our ever-changing identities.
