42 seconds, 21 lives (2026):

In my video work "42 Seconds, 21 Lives", I reflect on the state of today’s society. Captured on the streets of Bologna, Italy, the piece explores a modern paradox: we all walk the same paths, yet we rarely seem to truly meet anymore.

Centered around an original 42-second sequence, the work focuses on 21 individual lives moving through the same space. It raises fundamental questions about our contemporary existence: Where is the connection? Are we all isolated in our own way? And ultimately, what forms society—the moments when we meet, or the moments when we are simply with ourselves?

How the World Feels Sometimes (2025) Featured at the European Media Arts Festival (EMAF) 2026.

In this video artwork, I explore how the world feels sometimes; rushed, overwhelming, and as if everything is happening all at once. Composed mostly of footage captured during my travels through China, the piece contrasts the rapid pace of the outside world with a sequence deconstructing a face, a visual metaphor designed to make our sensory overload visible. It captures a stressful, modern reality where our senses are constantly on high alert, absorbing an endless stream of visual and perceptual information simultaneously.

My journey into cinematography began during my film studies at the University of Osnabrück. Diving into the world of experimental videography completely changed how I look at media, I became fascinated by the mechanics of how moving images can capture and hold a person's eyes.

For me, cinematography is a way to translate unspoken feelings into a visual language. In my pieces, I depict how I view the world, focusing deeply on human connection and how overwhelming it can feel in our fast-paced society. It is a humanistic approach.

This philosophy directly shaped my recent piece, how the world feels sometimes (2025), which was proudly featured at the European Media Art Festival (EMAF) 2026 in Germany.
