Theory, Practice, and Responsibility in Algorithmic Image
Cultural mediation and artistic practice are understood as interconnected areas: research-oriented, artistic photography shapes the teaching, while the teaching serves as a critical extension of photographic research.
WARE FREIHEIT
Ware Freiheit presents Berlin as a site of multifaceted negotiations around identity, power and belonging. The image series observes situations and figures in which protection and vulnerability, memory and projection, visibility and self-positioning intersect.
Ware Freiheit, 2025
The photographs operate through quiet tensions: between uniform and body, architecture and history, gazes and attributions. They are not aimed at clarity or resolution, but unfold their impact through relationships and contrasts — a visual field that does not need to be loud in order to be effective.
The series was developed as part of a photographic master's project and comprises photographs on 160 pages. It combines documentary research, artistic staging and journalistic observation. Against the backdrop of political tensions and societal negotiation processes of 2023/24, Ware Freiheit reflects on how fragile and contested freedom has become — in public space as well as in individual experience.
Awards
Awards & Distinctions (Photography)
My photographic series Yes to Diversity – No to Racism received an award from the German Federal Ministry of Education as part of a school-based submission. The jury particularly acknowledged the project’s engagement with diversity and its critical stance against racism. In 2023, my photo series Walhalla Tales was awarded First Prize in the competition My Walhalla Story by the City of Wiesbaden.
Earlier Design Practice (Selected Distinctions)
Before focusing primarily on artistic photography, my work in communication and product design was recognized by institutions such as iF Design, Red Dot and the German Design Council. These distinctions relate to an earlier phase of my professional practice and inform my interdisciplinary understanding of visual culture, design systems and media aesthetics.
