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. 

More than 30 years ago I printed my first photogram and built my first camera obscura. I now work in cliché verre, monotypes and video.

Borders and transitions have always pulled my interest. Thus you will find me in the boundary between painting, printmaking and photography.

My subjects are taken from nature. I exhibit my work internationally, internationally – Germany, Italy, Albania, Spain, Norway, USA.

For seven years I lived in the forests of the White Mountains on the East Coast of the USA, teaching film photography and 19th century photographic processes at Plymouth State University, New Hampshire.

I then returned to Europe. Since 2015 I have resided in Berlin. In December 2020 I moved back to my hometown Freiburg at the foot of the Black Forest.
