Born on June 18, 1992, in Jena.
He completed his studies at Burg Giebichenstein Halle in 2020. After a year in Milan he now lives and works between Halle and Leipzig.
His artistic practice exlores the ways history is narrated in various pictorial forms and their claims of representation, power, permanence and finitude that are negotiated within them. The works move between photographic essays and installations. Already while studing, the relationship between politics and art played a major role besides his artistic practices. He engages this topic in publications and educational work.
