Selection of exhibitions showcasing my time-based media practice through multimedia installations, emphasizing my artistic research into how established 21st-century technologies and systems influence human experiences of communication and interrelations.
These installations incorporate compelling materials that embody contemporary cultural tropes, aiming to create tensions between affectivity and the alienation induced by technology.

LONGING FOR YOU SINCE 2012
ASA Open Studios, Hamburg, Germany - 2023
The installation depicts emotional connections through mobile devices, blending archival personal notes, music, and messages from different iPhone generations.
My photographic practice is defined by my deliberate use of the camera as a memory-mediating device.
Similar to my installation work, the practice explores the effects of mediated affectivity, in this case through the mechanical process of analogue photography.
The methodology centers on snapshot photography, documenting fleeting subject maters that accentuate the qualities of memento mori and the conscious preservation of these moments through photography.
All images are shot with a Minolta Dynax 800si 35mm SLR camera on 35mm film and digitized for display.
Series exploring the distinction between coincidence and accident.
Through my curatorial practice, I aim to develop collaborative formats that intersect academic research, social practices, and artistic inquiry.
I focus on organizing social gatherings centered around art exhibitions, critically exploring the social and economic values embedded within contemporary art discourses.
Additionally, my practice seeks to engage with contemporary societal phenomena, creating spaces and formats where cultural tropes and values are examined through diverse artistic perspectives.
Deichtorhallen, Hamburg, Germany - 2024
In collaboration with Leo Elia Jung, the project was curated and organized as part of the “Survival of the 21st Century” exhibition at the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, unfolding in an experimental symposium format. The initiative emerged as an interrogation of artistic labor, challenging prevailing notions of productivity, creative practice, and social value within the art world.
Grounded in Thorstein Veblen’s seminal work The Theory of the Leisure Class, the symposium reimagined traditional exhibition models, offering a dynamic, multifaceted exploration of the boundaries between work and leisure, productive and unproductive labor, probing the alternate economies embedded in the creation, presentation, and valuation of art.
The three-day event encompassed a variety of lectures, performances, film screenings, and an exhibition. Thirty emerging artists contributed commissioned works exploring the concept of the “Leisure Class”. In conversation with Prof. Dr. Astrid Mania the vault of art as an economic asset was discussed followed by a performance intervention by Nora Störmer examining the institutionalization of social gatherings around art, finalising by a lecture -performance by Madeline Andersson on the elitism of knowledge “degenerative knowledge production”.
