PHOTOGRAPHIES

Terrain Vague - for Man

Artistic research in an urban living environment on the topic of real estate ventures and homelessness.  Four phases of homelessness are captured in a four-part photo series: vacant buildings with shuttered windows and doors, disposed of furniture, sleeping places of homeless people, furnishings in homeless shelters. 
On the occasion of the invitation by the architects group BKK2 to design full-page interventions in the ads section of “Edition Architektur Aktuell 01 / Springer Verlag” the first part of the photo series was published.

a scent for people.
Existential, original, genuine. Scent of reality. Odeur metropolitain. Breath of the city body. A touch of wilderness.

four scents.
