The End of Winter
On the lagoon, on h5p5 film, from the bateo or the bus. Moving in a still frame and freezing the last cold. Venezia, March 2025.

Place to Be
Place I am in at the very least. Also: place to discover, which has been an ongoing process since a couple of years. Mestre is Venice’s little sister, mostly overlooked because of the fame and impossible beauty of her older…
The industrip state of mind
It usually takes hours and days of travel. On-the-road hardships, brothel-like sketchy hotels, terrible food and steak-selling vending machines to call it an industrip. Not this time. This was a industroll, caught in between rainfalls when a pale white sun…
Silver but Gold
Gelatin silver on a happy time. Venice, Forte Marghera, February 2025.
Minimalismo Mediterraneo
My excellent friend’s excellent blog and live dj-set were the excuse for this stroll through Venice at the end of Winter, on an almost warm February day. I was looking for details, patterns, Mediterranean shapes and moods. I found some,…
Varanasi, India
A Mystical Bazar. November 2024
Ancient, gothic and fishes
It has been a hectic autumn, starting in Germany with some gothic churches and the ritual visit to Master Albrecht Dürer in his gothic town. Moving on to the eternal beauty of Rome – with a quick stop in its…
Summer films
Berlin, Venice, Friends, dogs and visions. Where the fuck is home? The summer of 2024 was dense. Now that it is gone I realize how much is changing, how much I and the world around me are molting. These rolls…
Industrial heritage aka the industrip adventures
Back on the road after the first Italian winter in twenty (!) years. Much needed and maybe deserved, t he industrip brought me back to my hunt for industrial wonders of ancient Europe. This time it was Germany and Czech…
Once again with Fog
Venice in fog again: I left behind a roll of film from my week with Miron so here it is, emerged to life after some weeks and some more films. Lagoon fog, the wonderful Miron Zownir, Venice at the end…
Black and white (strolling with the man in black)
February 2024, a long shortest month. I had the privilege of spending a week with one of my favorite photographers and watch him at work. Before getting to know him in person I would refer to him as The Man…
Chasing the Fish
I spent about 40 minutes chasing a fish on the shallow waters of a Mestre canal. The winter day was sunny and not cold. The fish is not – or hardly -to be seen but my friends and some industrial…
Duncker Club – Berlin, dismantled
There was a party in my favorite club in Berlin last Friday. Im Duncker Club. The occasion was the reunion tour of Italian band cccp. I was incredibly honored to be asked by organizers Valentina Ferrarese and Dj Orløg to…
The Marghera Blues
Low light in northern Italy this week. Christmas, families and a new look at old and dear projects. I went back to The Other Cathedrals to make some minor changes to the video and send it to some art prize…
Sunrise
I love facing east in the morning.
Overdevelopment
I was riding my bike yesterday and out of the blue I started thinking about photographic development and other kinds of development I know. It seems to me that everything that gets or performs a development is either an organism…
Northern Light
So long I have lived in the North, that southern light infinitely amazes me and makes me waste rolls and rolls of film. This happened last month, when I overexposed everything I could during the day – or I optimistically…
MixTape
It has been a busy couple of months, traveling around Europe and walking the streets of some beautiful cities. Confusion runs high, but it is of the good kind, each moment of beauty is a gift from the sky, each…
The seven Heavenly Places
“The seven heavenly places” is a permanent, site-specific installation by Anselm Kiefer at Hangar Bicocca in Milan. A post-apocalyptic scenery that reaches into the archetypes and deepest roots of our western culture with concrete broken towers sprouting out of a…
On the Street.
PLACES. PEOPLE. THINGS. This is a short trip to Catania in February, 2023.
Home is where
An afternoon fading into midnight stroll through the city I was born in – and what luck to grow up surrounded by such beauty. Life is layered and opaque though, sometimes you can see best from a distance. The night…
Laguna
This is still getting to know colour film. I wanted to capture one thing, the shades of everything that are visible on the Laguna water right after the sun has reached a certain angle, shortly before sunset. Kind of a…
What an almost random shot can do.
Where it all began. Or a lot at least.

They are Dead. Wrapped in Plastic.
Sibylle Bergemann and her reportage about the Marx-Engels-Forum in Berlin, GDR. How comes I am using the infamous TP incipit to write about Sibylle Bergemann and Berlin? The Berlin – David Lynch link is there, and for many, it has…
