As a child, I spent a lot of time behind the scenes in theatres. I loved learning about theatre from the inside, watching the preparations for productions, watching the actors and their dramatic search for the right image and form.

So, later I came to the point where I want to record this process of self-expression. I am fascinated by filming behind the scenes - I feel like a spectator who sees a bit more than those sitting in the audience. For me theatre is above all about the artist and their little life in the theatre. It is as if I can see this hidden other reality in miniature, the format of a single enclosed space of theatrical scenery. I turn to monochrome photography in order to draw the viewer's attention even more closely to the emotions, poses and body language of the people portrayed.

I am also interested in landscape and architecture photography. In my object photography I like to maintain geometricity, a precise composition, and an emphasis on local colours. I like to bring out the harmony of the surroundings, the interaction of nature and the metaphysics of a single frozen moment.
