bio
Once upon a time – after graphical work for fashion magazines in Paris – I worked in the area of commercial photography: studio work, press work, product photography. At some point, I made a career move taking me into the information technology arteries of fabulous companies and exciting cities in Europe and the Americas. Today, technical creativity still plays a part in my life and it is a valuable foundation for my work as a visual artist. I have learned to let the expertises enhance eachother and to connect them to my own “wunderkammer” brain.
My photographic work focuses on topics related to infrastructure, time and space. I like to research their existence and their history, and do my best to discover the balance which make them co-exist. Within this rationale, nothing is out of bounds or off limits, and omni-present interconnection is a key element in my vision.
Typically, I shoot from the heart, supported by that wunderkammer, and in the situation as-is. “Everything is pre-destined, including my work”. But it’s not always complicated like that, sometimes a subject is just a subject, present in a certain territory, and with all its beauty available for notion.
