For me, the interplay between collective experiences, subjective perceptions, and abstract-emotional interpretations in the context of social coexistence has long been a compelling subject, that I wanted to explore in greater depth through this project.
The Fourth Room
Photobook exploring the complex group of themes of subjective, collective, and individual perceptions of reality, as well as the appropriation of physical and metaphorical spaces.
My photographic project “Der Vierte Raum“ (literally “The fourth room”) documents and
interrogates experiences, impressions, and behaviours on the threshold of adulthood in times of
uncertainty. For me, "der vierte Raum" symbolizes an “in-between”. In-between reality, perception,
projection, and fiction; between subjectivity and objectivity. I seek to transfer intuitive automatisms from the subconscious into a conscious and reflective context in order to offer insights for individual agency and self-understanding.
Within „Der Vierte Raum“, I engage methodically with my own perception and thought processes.
My project aims to open conceptual spaces for viewers, sharpen their gaze, and encourage
reflection. I want to heighten awareness of intangible and abstract, yet equally real and
relevant dynamics that shape our contemporary social and cultural context.
