We live in a time in which Western culture considers itself superior to nature. From this anthropocentric perspective, we evaluate the rest of the world primarily in relation to our own needs. The great distance this creates between humans and their environment causes us to make choices without considering the consequences for everything beyond ourselves. We exhaust the Earth and nature in order to make life more comfortable for ourselves as humans.
The scars of this exhaustion fascinate me, especially in post-industrial landscapes where the physical traces of human impact remain visible. Through thorough location research, I create personal impressions of these places in my films. Within my way of observing, I aim not to place humans at the center, but instead to position them as part of a larger ecological whole. This opens up space for reflection on our relationship with the environment and the impact our actions have on landscape and nature.
I believe that true artistic expression cannot be fully captured through logic, but rather emerges from intuition, feeling, and association. Where logic is based on reasoning and facts, intuition operates through impressions and implicit knowledge. Intuition is personal and unique, and therefore essential to my way of working.
In my work, I am not looking for answers, but rather for the intuitive and sensory posing of questions. In this process, image, time, and sound transcend classical narrative elements such as protagonists and dialogue. Driven by observation and association, my films create a meditative experience in which the human impact on Earth becomes tangible.
