DIALOGUE
One circle: From the Black Forest to the White Mountains to Berlin and back to the Black Forest
I was born at the edge of the Black Forest, in Freiburg, Germany.
My interest in photography began by experimenting with photograms, so-called lensless photography. Almost 40 years ago I printed my first photogram and built my first camera obscura. – I now work in monotypes and video.
Borders and transitions have always pulled my interest. Thus, you will find me in that liminal space between painting, printmaking and photography.
My subjects are taken from nature. I exhibit my work internationally, e.g. Germany, Italy, Albania, Spain, Norway, USA.
For seven years I lived in the deepest forest of the White Mountains on the East Coast of the USA, teaching analogue black and white photography –as well as historical photographic processes of the 19th century– at Plymouth State University, New Hampshire.
I then returned to Europe. From 2015 to 2020 I have resided in Berlin. In 2020 I moved to my birth town Freiburg, close to the beautiful Black Forest.
