Concrete Flowers (work in progress)
I visited China in 2019 for the first time.I was inspired by the flow and geometries of concrete streets and everyone I met there.The architecture of space, even if layered with concrete, was very much alive and welcoming.I could still see flowers everywhere.I documented typical urban landscapes and upon return transformed them into a set of personalised ecosystems. We humans witness concrete as building material that divides and pollutes life worldwide, but actually people and all the other living beings always manage to assimilate to it, and make it into a friendlier matter. Concrete flowers means literally something beautiful and organic that grows out of concrete.

Mauerhasen
Mauerhasen are the rabbits which inhabited the area between the inner and outer Wall of Berlin.They epitomize the idea of power and control and the tragicomic history of geopolitical walls.
Sequences of Truth And Deception
Sequences of Truth And Deception
‘The primal plant is going to be the strangest creature in the world, which nature herself shall envy me. With this model and the key to it, it will be possible to go on forever inventing plants and know that their existence is logical; that is to say, if they do not actually exist, they could, for they are not the shadowy phantoms of a vain imagination, but possess an inner necessity and truth. The same law will be applicable to all other living organisms.’

Anatomy of False Memories
Anatomy of False Memories
Our memories are reconstructive, not reproductive.They accumulate, transform or vanish.There are certain memories which are common to everyone and they define us as humans.The Anatomy of False Memory is a state in which we remember things which haven’t really happened. This is mostly a consequence of trauma or a strong emotional upheaval, but even without any special reason, we always visualize a particular memory in different context.
