Animated short film, collage installation, text - work in progress, year started: 2022
Memory is a tricky thing, each time we recall a memory we simultaneously change it depending on our mood and the details we focus on. In the beginning of the grieving process my mind was blank, it felt like unpacking a box full of carefully wrapped belongings but once the wrapping paper was gone there was nothing there. Somehow physical objects seemed more reliable so I held on to the handful of possessions I had from her: five photographs, her wedding band, a vase and a tea set. These objects became the fabric of the work. They are represented as paper impressions and used in the digital collages created for the animation sets. Over the last 10 years our communication became increasingly non-verbal. We held each other, I caressed her hair and hands. I am grateful that we were able to hold on to our strong emotional bond until the end.

Experimental animation, digital collages
Animation variations based on one image of dancer Martha Graham. The image depicts her choreography „Letter to the world“ which was based on poetry by Emily Dickinson. All digital collages and animations are entirely created from that single image.
Experimental animation recorded with smart phone
There I was trying to sleep in an unfamiliar place. The street lights were too bright and the fan too loud. After some time I got up and turned a sleepless night into an animation experiment. While recording the reflections I moved my phone up and down on the surface of the window and the lights started spinning, creating mesmerizing spectacles to the sound of the fan all of which kept me from sleeping yet again.
Collage & purposeless websites - ongoing series, year started: 2019
Over the past years I have collected free advertisement magazines I find once or twice a week in my letterbox. It’s very useful material for pointless text collages and mismatching patterns and purposeless websites.
Digital collages, experimental animation and web art project - ongoing series, year started: 2014
The user can endlessly scroll through the image on a website. In some works the act of scrolling through the image creates the motion for the animation.
Patterns are based on collages I created in 2010. How many steps have you taken? Are you going up or down?
Patterns are based on collages from the perpetual line series.

Whilst cutting out lines for a different project a lot of scraps accumulated and I decided to animate them. A first attempt at examining Gleichschritt patterns. Feeling out of breath yet?
