Space and effect
The work changes in the room.
Size, distance and light determine how the picture is perceived – not as an isolated object, but as part of a situation. The photograph shown here conveys this relationship and gives an impression of how the work appears in dialog with its surroundings.
Further views then allow a closer look at the structure, details and composition.

Change of perspective
One of my most important sources of inspiration is trying to look at the world as if I were seeing it for the first time. I go outside my front door and try to consciously set aside any judgment or learned knowledge about my surroundings.
This state is almost impossible to maintain – and this is precisely where its value lies. Even the brief moment of not knowing opens up new perspectives and creates space for other forms of seeing. This experiment gives rise to works such as (K)EINE Insektensammlung.
Effect and scale
The collage Insect collection 13A unfolds its effect at second glance. The works are small-format, deliberately restrained and demand proximity. Structure, material and reinterpretation only become visible on closer inspection.
The framing and serial appearance create a tension between collection and individual piece. The work refers to natural history orders without reproducing them – and invites us to slow down our own gaze.
Each work is framed dust-tight (anti-reflective museum glass) and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity
Viewers report that new details are always revealed on closer inspection.
Miniature collage – Vegan insect collection
In this work, plant remains and small pieces of waste are combined to create a new, fictitious habitat. Pine cone scales, berries, palm seeds, beans, fragments of coneflower, flower remains and grasses colonize an artistic habitat between mirror fragments, a jay’s feather, a fragment of a butterfly wing and small pieces of paper and metal waste.
The arrangement is reminiscent of natural history collections, but does not follow any scientific system. Similarities with real existing insect species cannot be ruled out. If you think you recognize signs of an old typewriter, you are right.
