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…

Beautiful People in Beautiful places. One roll was damaged during development (very clear in picture #2) because a tiny crack let light leak in. This reminds me of all these people, who let light leak into my life and give…
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…

I just realized I haven’t done my usual once-a-year self-portraits session in 2022. Probably because I have been thinking too much about it, especially after setting up a dating-app profile which led me to think a lot about the difference…

This is a complicated post to write, for the photo shoot was completely improvised and the amount of beauty that struck me is as large as it is completely unexpected. It started with fluorescent light and a raging storm outside.…

Makeup with indigo blue from morocco. I fucked up the lights royally, so this lands into the box “ode to mistakes”. Studio photos, March 2021.
Magic is. It’s been almost a year. No concerts, no live shows, no theatre. No stage and no backstage, no moving acting performing humans to photograph. Munsha’s piece Alices Geschwister was supposed to be ready and performed in November. Second…
