title
Pears in the Afternoon
Originally a fine artist, I started to swap my brushes for a camera and my colours for photochemistry. That’s how the ‚paintings’ that I never painted emerged.
In wet plate photography, I found a suitable medium to bring my images into being. Due to its very analogue nature, the distorting effects, its slow unfolding, it comes very close to the process of painting. At the same time I can use the so-called objectivity of photography to follow my own artistic imagery.
I’m always looking for the special something of my subject whether person, prop or situation,
But for me it is never about the portrait of an individual, it’s about the portrait of the human being per se. My intention is to create an image that confront the viewers with their own imagination.
born in 1970, is an artist and photographer living in Berlin.
She studied at the University of Arts, Berlin and at the Film University, Babelsberg.
In addition to her own art and photography projects, she is teaching at several Art Universities.
