While working on this long-term project, I live out of my car, moving between Germany’s northern coast and the Alps. I turn my camera to everyday and historical places – cities, nature, industry, memorial sites, refugee shelters – as well as local rituals and public gatherings.

My unstaged photographs combine a documentary approach with an aesthetic drive, in which precise composition and chance go hand in hand.

“heim” addresses questions that reach beyond Germany: responsibility toward history, migration, the relationship with nature – concerns that shape twenty-first-century Europe. It also touches on current political and social conflicts. The word “heim” does not arrive at “Heimat”: it points to a movement back that does not reach its destination.
