No more "current mission". No "philosophy" (although I like the latter (sometimes). I thought this would be easy. Now I wish the limits inviting you to be super general and vague are back. Currently I'm studying "Photography and Society" at the Academy of Arts in The Hague. I worked as a photojournalist until 2019 (at least I thought I did), then became a taxi-drive who wanted to found a start-up. The people around me started to annoy me, especially their notions about "social capitalism", and I left for a blissful (and self-worth depleting) year of unemployment. After crossing the alps on my bike because I had the time to and working at a cooperative farm in Leipzig, I moved to The Hague (a place I still argue doesn't exist) and am now working on my thesis and graduation project. Because I couldn't process nor really felt any inspiration in the Netherlands I bought an Interrail and am now following my intuition for visualize "it" and contextualize my writing (super quick: its about the relation of a stuttering person (me) to society (and photography) and a comment or observation about a society hooked on "hyper-fluent" ideals / obsessions considering both language and image. Although I traveled a lot while working as a photojournalist I feel an anxiety about traveling or roaming that I haven't felt before. A hesitation and urge for a safe space (still figuring out why (Covid?)) that is no packed in my backpack. Lets see. I would love to meet people that are interested in conversations, in reflecting but also in dancing, being and just living life aware without escaping into a reality of their own that turns out to be a privileged, escapistic dead end of pleasurable indulgence. I'm looking forward to meet and get to know you!
