The subjects of the work groups REMEMBER I + II were finds from my grandparents' estate. I photographed these objects and continued to work with them by applying layers or exposing areas. In my imagination, this process resembles the process of remembering.

REMEMBER I, 2007-09
Approximately 20 photo works


The motifs of the pictures originally showed clothes, fabrics, domestic inventory. Through my various working steps they were abstracted, further levels of meaning developed. For example, not a real cloth was ironed, but its photographic image.

REMEMBER II, 2008-09
Approximately 25 photo works


The documentary war photographs are from my grandfather's estate. The pictures were photographed again and again during the working process, reworked and darkened. They remain – like memories or dreams and premonitions – vague even when they are focused.
