After completing my studies at the Academy for Visual Arts in Dusseldorf with a focus on photography and film, my interest in the inner development of the human being led me to my postgraduate studies in Visual Arts and Therapy at the Academy for Visual Arts in Munich and my further education at the Academy for Psychoanalysis in Munich. My intensive involvement with contemporary dance and dance theatre has also very much inspired my artistic work. Lately, I have been working almost exclusively photographically, with digital image processing in the form of superimposition and inversion of images determining the aesthetics of my visual language. For me, the visualization of two images in one image is associatively linked to the simultaneity of a sensual and an emotional experience, an objective and a subjective impression and the activity of the conscious and the unconscious. For me, the inversion of images is associatively linked to the negative space and the shadow and offers the viewer an alienation of a visual impression that is otherwise experienced as familiar.
