Enthusiasm and Experience
I have been working as a visual journalist since my student days and am currently a member of the LAIF agency in Cologne, Germany. From 2010 to 2015, I traveled through Eastern Europe and wrote about the art of photography in those countries, including for the New York Times.
Since 2020, I have been photographing the Southern Midwest of the United States of America.

Land Acknowledgement
When working on this series of photographs, I resided on Tribal lands and profited from the good care many generations of Indigenous Peoples took of it. The City of Tulsa and the related surrounding territories I visited are on the land of these American Indian tribes: Muscogee (Creek), Tsalagi (Cherokee), Ni-u-kon-ska (Osage), Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo), Kadohadacho (Caddo), Kitikiti (Wichita), Chikashsha (Chickasaw), Chaticks si Chaticks (Pawnee), Ka’igwu (Kiowa), and Ogáxpa (Quapaw). All the other Peoples of Eastern Oklahoma not mentioned by name here, on whose lands I travelled, shall be honored and thanked here, too.
I acknowledge and mourn the prolonged mistreatment and forcibly removement of these American peoples of honor and sophistication by newcomers I am associated to by my European descendant. I sincerely hope that my impressions of all cultures I gathered convey an image that furthers dialogue and understanding between the different human, non-human and spiritual inhabitants of these territories, who welcomed me without preconception.
