  • About

Visit me at uffice.berlin. Since 2025, I am part of the postgraduate Art in Context program at UdK Berlin, focusing on public arts. Before that, I spent nearly a decade at Bauhaus University Weimar, where I studied Visual Communication and Fine Arts, including a semester at the Faculdade de Belas-Artes in Lisbon, PT and Studio Vortex, Antoine d’Agata’s residency program in Arles, FR. I graduated by placing a standard 40-foot shipping container on campus and collectively turning it into a new social hub: UFF!


My artistic practice moves between photography, moving image, performance, installation, and placemaking, mostly site-specific and collaborative. I regard space as a social tool, documenting everything that happens along the way: the planned and the unexpected, setup and teardown, visitors, participants, exhibits, and context. These self-reflexive observations, in turn, give rise to new context-bound works, which can mirror each other, repeat themselves, and change over time.


Long-term collaborations and friendships form the foundation of my practice. This includes accompanying the Bauhaus centenary together with Samuel Solazzo, our duo work now part of the Archiv der Moderne, the Curry Club with Katrin Steiger, and NOVA Space together with Katharina Wendler and Sophia Scherer, recently culminating in the publication BOOM! Within these relationships, my role remains fluid, shifting between initiator, observer, host, and collaborator.
