Hi there! I'm from a little town in northern Switzerland, called Olten. I'm a photographer. In my artistic practice, I'm concerned with finding ways of getting away from anthropocentrism, because existence means coexistence (to quote the amazing Donna Haraway).
Easygoing, very curious, rather calm and reflective is how I'd describe myself. There's so much that I'm fascinated by, fascinated by the mystery of existence! I'm always interested in meeting new people, new perspectives, especially when travelling. I love hiking a lot, sleeping outdoors in the woods or on a mountain, and on the other hand I love exploring culture and the arts when I'm in a city.

Let's explore this amazing planet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a lot about photography, the technical aspects but also ways to deal with and reflect on the medium, and of course the (swiss-)german language. Also I love cooking, so I'd be more than happy to show you the tastes of the Swiss cuisine.
