My father’s home and studio became very inspiring to me. I find it very interesting to see people’s characters reflected in their objects and arrangements.
This is the beginning of a series.

Lebensstufen
Traveling south, being outdoors and reading Hesse goes well together.
And I’m realizing again how deeply this man talks to me.
Lebensreform
Monte Verità
I want to tell you about the Lebensreform movement in the early 20th century. The problems back then were the same like today.
Noémie Goudal
Heterotopia
Goudal makes no attempt to hide any evidence of fabrication, drawing attention to the artificial, man-made aspect of photography

There’s a whole earth community that has nothing to do with human beings.
Chris Bryan
Mocean
Watching this video, I felt captured by a primal feeling of awe. One of these rare moments when we glimpse how inconceivably vast and powerful this reality is.
Leonor Fini
Queen of the Underworld
Fini’s work blends elements of surrealism, symbolism, and fantastical imagery, with a fearless exploration of genderfluid identities and depictions of feminine energy.
Armin Copp
Broken worlds without end
Fractals are a wonderful way of seeing infinity. Their beauty is only secondary after that lesson in perception.

Deep and dark, this film glides through a misty world of forest spirits, dreams, and psychotropic honey.
Franciszek Starowieyski
The Opulence of Demise
Franciszek Starowieyski liked to think of himself as a draftsman from the 17th century. The lushness of form and erotic exuberance is truly Baroque.
Utopian Visionaries
Dostoevsky & Le Guin
These two visionary tales are written hundred years apart, under very different conditions by very different authors yet they make a great match.
