DESCRIPTION
When I visit my mother, I sleep in my grandmother's apartment in my former nursery. Being there is like a journey through time, back to my childhood. Since then, almost nothing has changed. Everything is still there. The old wallpapers from the 60s and 70s are still on the walls. The furniture is still in its usual place. For years, even hang the two blue cloths over the bath in the bathroom. The small carpet in the kitchen is missing, the traces he left behind are clearly visible. The two massive wardrobes stand like silent, immovable guards in the bedroom. My grandma's clothes and underwear are still in there. Time seems to have stopped there for me. Due to the unchanged apartment, I remember many things that I experienced there as a child and adolescent. I can still feel the presence of my grandmother there. I used to travel often but she always said: "At home it's the most beautiful." Today I often think: maybe she was right? Are those home feelings?
AUTHOR
I am a passionate Photographer and Fine Art Printer
After graduating from the Adolf Lazi Academy near Stuttgart/Germany with a degree in media design and a job in a film studio, I tried something completely different: mountaineering, climbing and other outdoor activities. For a few years I lived completely isolated with my current wife in northern Italy. Without neighbours, TV, telephone, electricity and warm running water. The experiences and impressions in the peace and seclusion moved me deeply and taught me to observe my environment carefully. This was followed by a contrasting program. I got a job in Munich/Germany as a press photographer which I practiced for several years. Today I live and work as a Freelance Photographer, Fine-Art-Printer and Artist.
