In my artistic practice, I investigate architecture and the built environment as carriers of social memory processes. I am particularly interested in how political, social, and economic transformations become inscribed in spatial structures and continue to operate as ordering systems. I understand architecture and landscape as material archives in which historical ruptures, social dynamics, and political changes are sedimented.
Methodologically, my work is grounded in conceptual long-term investigations that systematically interweave repetition and comparison. The photographic documentation of identical sites over extended periods renders processes of change, persistence, and erosion traceable. Predominantly black-and-white images, largely devoid of human presence, draw attention to structural, typological, and temporal dimensions of the built environment. Serial arrangement functions as an analytical instrument, revealing spatial layers and gradual processes of transformation.
I conceive of photography as an epistemic instrument of practice-based research. In dialogue with approaches from visual archaeology, my work seeks to uncover architectural traces and spatial continuities, making their historical conditions legible. Berlin and Brandenburg constitute a central field of inquiry, where the layering of past and present manifests with particular intensity.
