Born a Fischkopp in Bremerhaven, I now live and work between Berlin and Sofia.

With a background in political science from the Free University of Berlin, I focus on shifting lived realities and how people respond to them.

Before dedicating myself to art, I worked with international aid organisations in the former Yugoslavia. The fragility of home I experienced there became the catalyst for my artistic practice.

Since the early 1990s, I’ve been tracing the ruptures of post-socialist transformation in Southeast Europe – particularly in Bulgaria. This ongoing engagement gave rise to the series Abandoned Promises.

In my participatory project Was bleibt (“What Remains”), I ask what persists when a person is uprooted. In Natura corporum, I explore the erosion of the contours of the familiar – the slow dissolving of spaces we once called our own.

More recently, my work has expanded toward the planetary scale of belonging: in installations such as Joint Sharing and verbunden (“bound”), and through the development of a hybrid, process-based form of photography.

My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and is part of several public and private collections – including the Edith Maryon Foundation (Basel), Ruhr University (Bochum), the German Historical Museum Foundation (Berlin), and the Berlin City Museum Foundation.
