18, Düsseldorf. I use technology as a medium to express my world. I build installations, software and machines. Whatever I need, I bring into reality.
Write me. Or read the manifest.
I built a robot that reacts to how close its visitors are: the closer someone steps up to it, the faster it starts to walk.
The twist: it cannot move freely through the room. It is chained to a power socket.
It won both the Audience Award and the Jury Award at the 19th Gestaltungswettbewerb at Lernort Studio Düsseldorf.
I built a photo booth into a wine crate. Press the button, and a few seconds later your photo comes out of a label printer on thermal paper.
Inside is a ThinkPad, plus a few 3D-printed parts. You can switch between different looks, and a QR code lets you download your photo straight to your phone. One label roll lasts for around 300 photos, so a whole evening.
I kept everything as simple as possible: plug it in and it runs.
Want PHOTO UNIT at your event? I am very happy to lend it out. Write me.
Three stacked CRT TVs run through an analogue video mixer. Visitors turn potentiometers to mix a self-portrait into heavily distorted edits of nature and city, a “dirty mix” of my world.
It won the Audience Award at the 18th Gestaltungswettbewerb at Lernort Studio Düsseldorf.
Nine floppy disks on a silver plate. Each one carries a part of happiness.
Large programs once came on several disks. None of them ran alone. Happiness works the same way: it only exists when all of them come together.
An Arduino shakes the disks at random, sometimes one, sometimes all at once, like a gift before it is opened. It never opens.
Two sound works built from childhood and 18th-birthday recordings, processed with self-built algorithmic tools that layer and deform the sound. Memory as something that reshapes with every playback. Made in the Werk:Klub at K21 Düsseldorf.

Memory does not produce a past. It produces you. Chaotic. Unclear. Foggy.

Memory is not a storage device. It invents. Again and again. What you held to be true may never have been so.
BE A TRANSFORMER! is a collaborative 5 × 12 m banner shown at K21. 1/4 is my part of it: 100 socially and politically significant events of this century, generated as AI images and composed into a single picture.
I made the short film 2491 and submitted it to the Uncut Award 2025 at the Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf. A project against surveillance.
Also in 2025: I was the cameraman on the film project Last Slice, which went on to win the Audience Award.
A drama about twins raised apart, and my first large film. I was director of photography, camera, stills and part of the direction; it premiered at the Metropol Kino Düsseldorf.
I reinvented a cheap camera by circuit bending it, and shot a photo series with it in Düsseldorf.
Circuit bending: deliberately short-circuiting and altering a device’s electronics until it malfunctions in unpredictable ways. That is where these glitched, noisy, intensely colourful images come from.
Coming soon…
