The work is makeing a small part of our global network visible.
Technically WIRED is a balancing act between photography and painting. A picture consists of two photographs. The cables in the foreground and a scan as background.
In another field of work I focus on the balancing act between photography and painting. As a hunter and collector, my archive is the starting point for these works. Various techniques from the photography and the painting are used for the works.
I was born in Switzerland in 1976. Already as a child, the camera and crayons were my favourite way to express myself. I graduated as an architect, later on I attended a self-taught photographer class and completed my photography studies at the Swiss school of journalism. I travelled Asia extensively and spent a lot of time exploring major cities. I mainly work on long term projects.

about the photographer
I am particularly interested in topics of public space. In my work I investigate the traces and habitats of modern civilization. The artefacts and found objects are characterized by the attitude of humans towards the environment. Further I am interested in the relationship between harmony and dissonance and chaos and order.In another field of work I focus on the balancing act between photography and painting. As a hunter and collector, my archive is the starting point for these works. Various techniques from the photography and the painting are used for the works.
