I am a German-British photographic artist, researcher, and lecturer whose work fosters connections between technologies, nature, and people, engaging sensorial aesthetics, relational ethics, and visual thinking. My practice challenges the conventional dominance of the photographic image by refocusing on photographic practices of making and reading as multisensory, co-produced events that are more than visual and more than representational.
Rooted in a posthumanist perspective, my work explores the relational dynamics between humans and machines within photographic production. By reimagining photography as an interconnected process, I aim to expand its potential as a medium that transcends traditional boundaries. Through participatory and aesthetic research, I create mixed media installations incorporating sound, video, printed matter, and photographic paper to address themes such as displacement, deep matter, and feminism.
My work has been exhibited regionally and internationally, with solo and group shows in the UK, US, Germany, Switzerland, and Denmark. In 2015, I was honoured with the Attenborough Prize.
I hold a BA in Communication and Media Studies (HTW Berlin & Deakin University, Melbourne) and an MA in Photography Arts (University of Westminster, London). In 2024, I completed my AHRC-funded PhD in Posthuman Photography at NTU's Fine Art Department, supported by the Midlands4Cities consortium.
Born in 1978 and raised in East Germany, I now live and work between Nottingham and Berlin.
