I am an artist, photographer and writer based in Berlin with a special interest in architecture, the perception of cities, psychogeography, urban narratives and photo novels.

My art works deal with the perception of urban space and its imagery as well as with topics like narration and memory production. I look at urban spaces and objects from an associative-metaphorical point of view, exploring the correlation between city and mood. A small digital camera serves as a kind of “seismographic device“ to record psychogeographic shocks – the accidential, the provisional, the fragile and the contradictory is especially attractive to me.
