Most of these photographs represent not only some wonderful friends but also the vivid community of the town of Onishi. When I first met the people and the setting in rural Japan in 2015, I immediately fell in love. The host of the residency, American born Kijel Hahn became a very close friend over the…
The picturesque town of Cesky Krumlov has long history into medieval times. Due the short months of the the residency I worked on some sculptures made out of wax and taxidermy. One weekend in June there happened to be a historical festival in town. At this occasion I could persuade some of the medieval actors…
The beginning of my approach to work as artist again startet in 2014. After art university I had a good run with black and white photography and a very special project in Vienna, Krakow and Berlin. But this was more than ten years ago and now digital photography took over. My idea was to work…

I used my analogue equipment to make some street portraits and was lucky enough to meet even some professional models. The biggest challenge for me was to interact with the people who spoke…
It has been a small event at some school building in Vienna and was one of the first of its kind in 2010. I used my analogue equipment to make some portraits of the young girls. Very few boys mixed with the crowd, but more of the older creepy kind of sort. I did love…
