These were curated, among others, by Erik Kessels, Matthias Harder and Eric Aichinger.

 Artist’s statement

 

Photography is the art of choice. In this chaotic world where everything and everyone seems to be spinning around, photography helps me to process it. The camera allows me to frame reality and it requires me to put focus on something or someone.

 

I am mainly interested in portrait, fashion, and journalism/ documental photography. Always using the knowledge of the history of art that Jiminy Cricket whispers in my ear.
