200 Million Years
(2025)
The project 200 Million Years portrays the butterfly as a representative of complex ecological relationships in several series of works using photography, film, and poetry. The title 200 Million Years refers to the length of the evolutionary history of the butterfly, whose existence is now massively threatened by the ongoing decline in insect population.
Each series offers a unique introduction to our relationship with the butterfly and conveys how it is shaped by aesthetics, science, and history. The project oscillates between documentary and abstract modes of representation, aiming to open up empathetic access to other species and ecological networks through a diverse experience of beauty.
One Chicken
(2021)
5,000 years ago, chickens lived exclusively in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Through modern livestock farming, they are now the most widespread bird in the world, with chickens making up over 90% of all individual land vertebrates. The work One Chicken displays the complete skeleton of a chicken, depicting each of the 144 bones in individual, true-to-scale photographs. This typological representation reveals the complexity of this farm animal, which we otherwise tend to encounter only in pieces on our plates.
In contrast to the association of chicken bones as a waste product, this project presents them as gleaming white, sculptural objects appearing to float against a black background. Taken together, they map the skeletal framework that once supported a living being, reflecting on the value of the individual within industrial anonymity.
The Weather Is
(2023-ongoing)
“The Weather Is” is a long-term project exploring how the climate crisis transforms our sense of normality—an experience once closely tied to the rhythm of the seasons and their characteristic weather patterns. The pictures portray moments of shifting weather across spring, summer, autumn, and winter, captured mostly from the vantage point of the photographer's flat in the city center of Munich.
These quiet, everyday urban scenes reflect the gradual dissolution of familiar rhythms, seemingly removed from the visible destruction and loss often linked to the climate crisis. However, weather itself serves as a powerful reminder that we are not separate from the natural world.
For generations, our sense of time has been rooted in these age-old weather patterns, and experiencing them in disarray disrupts our relationship to the world and underscores our interconnectedness with the environment.
Cow's Milk
(2018)
cowsmilk.org
How does the process of milk production work? Why do cows produce milk in the first place? What is our, the human‘s role, in the production steps and how are these connected to each other?
Confronted with these questions, I wanted to get a clear understanding of the dairy industry. Cow‘s Milk is the result of my one year long research and photographic documentation of different cow farms, facilities and institutions. The series portrays the industrialized process of cow‘s milk production, following all the steps along the way:
the semen production bank, where the semen of bulls is being collected
the preparation of the semen in the lab
the artificial insemination of the cows
the birth of the calves
the milking and the slaughtering of the cow
the processing of the dairy in the dairy factory
