During the artist in residency in Riga in September 2022, my goal was to investigate light in public urban space at locations in the city and in the countryside around Riga on the coast. Through photographic light drawing diverse atmospheric multicolored color veils were created. By reversing the photography into the color negative, I am interested in examining the questions of light in its inversion and to generate more knowledge about light in the city and in the countryside. The project was realized during an artist in residency in Riga at the ISSP Gallery residency in September 2022.

I am a visual artist of photographic and cinematic media: publications, exhibitions and photographic installations. My artistic focus is to develop narratives for different visual media analog, digital and transmedial. My photographic works deal with themes of space, time and identity. These themes can be realized in a narrative sequence, in an abstract light painting, in a play with empty space.
