b. 1994 (Tübingen, Germany)
Working across media of analog photography, print-making, moving image and mixed-media, my projects are heavily led by the materials they engage with and are used in the making-process. Through a process of layering and unpacking, revealing and fictionalising, the aim of my practice-led research is to immerse myself into the entanglement of infrastructure and its memory, trauma, and conflict, asking the question how they manifest in both ecological and affective landscapes.
More specifically, my work is concerned with what Donna Haraway calls the “thick present” (2016): to linger in the Anthropocene, breath in its catastrophes and stare at the omnipresent potential of destruction and extinction. But this sense of horror is met with the attempt of tenderness and longing for intimacy within this space. The (infrastructural-) landscapes that both sustain us and diminish our resources and ecosystem are often missing from our maps and shared conscious. Yet they inform and reform our communities’ hegemonic understanding of the self and the political.
