Personal profile

I am a photographic artist, researcher, and lecturer in Photography and Video at ÉëÒ÷Ö®Íõ. My practice explores human-machine interactions in photographic practices, advancing a posthumanist perspective that reframes photography as a co-produced, multisensory event. Moving beyond the confines of the photographic image as static visual object, I explore the sensory and material processes that co-produce practice. Through mixed-media installations incorporating sound, video, printed materials, and participatory elements, my work addresses displacement, deep matter, and feminist thought.
With a BA in Media Studies from HTW Berlin and Deakin University Melbourne, an MA in Photography Arts from the University of Westminster and PhD in Posthuman Photography from Nottingham Trent University, my art practice lies at the intersection of art and scholarly inquiry. I have exhibited across the UK, US, Germany, Switzerland, and Denmark, and was honoured with the Attenborough Prize in 2015. Born and raised in East Germany, I continue to work between Nottingham and Berlin.
