I don’t work with images; I work with perception. Generative photography allows me to ask questions rather than give answers: not what I see, but how I see.

Creative interplay between pursuit and pause.

Study – Shaping Perception  / Pulse Line

Generative - Seeing as hypothesis

Every image is a remainder: fragment, intimation, afterimage. I work with what lingers. Surfaces keep depth. To see is to test a hypothesis, not to certify a truth. I trust the unsaid and the quiet interval where meaning arrives on its own.

What if seeing is already artificial?

Essays: long – form ideas. Fewer images, more friction.

Studies: short sequences. One constraint, one risk.

Works: series built to live outside the page.

Images as question. Vision as method.

Analog – Evidence, not effect.

Hand, light, time. Film holds air. Grain is not nostalgia, it is memory. Prints carry the weight of presence.

What does the hand remember that the sensor forgets?

Analog for you is proof, not polish. Materials matter. Silver, dye, paper. The look is earned, not simulated.

Residues : Between socialism and capitalism, between decay and glamour, colour turns insurgent.

Portraiture :  Presence over performance. Faces without theatre. 

Wanderlust :  Movement as witness. Encountering the ordinary in the unfamiliar.

Motion :  Short films. Simple setups, rhythm that carries meaning.

Hand, light, and time – evidence, not effect.

Lab - Exercises in attention

School of Seeing. Perception is a practice. Seeing is a language.

What changes when you reduce choice?

3 Levels of Perception: from presence to awareness to transformation.

10 Modules : Structured practice. Core ideas distilled into repeatable units

100 Steps : Ten actions per module. Simple constraints, specific outcomes.

Detour Havana : Field assignments. Walks, short briefs, quick reviews.

How do I see? Practice in the field.

Memories

Study – Prends-Moi – ‚Elle‘

Work in plain sight

I write to steady the hand that photographs.

Writing keeps the work accountable. It is part of the rhythm of thinking and seeing. It slows the process down – sequences form, edits gain reasons. Writing holds what the frame can’t answer – so the questions return as practice.

Work thinking out loud. Small entries, clear intent.

Print – „02, Exhausted“

Selected Works

Original prints from the current core pieces.

A photo is flat – a compression of sight. It holds light and time on a single skin. You read what is shown, and then something small won’t behave – a detail that snags the eye. On paper the image slows – colour turns material, edges speak. Each original print grows singular in the hand.

Prints and objects.
