Markus Born is a photographer whose work moves between experimental exploration and precise composition. With an academic background in philosophy and literature, his practice reflects an engagement with perception, form, and time—asking how photography can reveal what escapes direct observation.
He works with light as both a structural and temporal element, using it to examine the interplay between presence and absence, movement and stillness. Driven by sustained curiosity and reflection, Born’s work unfolds as an exploration of how the visible connects to experience and perception.
