// was there ever a point where you thought, ‘i can’t share these pictures, they’re too personal’? // yes, i had to work on finding the right tone, like turning the volume up and down. in order to test this out, at certain moments i documented a lot of really powerful images, but it took me a while to figure out the right tone. there were some more visually explicit images of my fresh scars straight after surgery, at the time i was feeling a lot of anger and the tone was a lot louder. then later, i decided those pictures were for me and nobody else.
// what are you working on at the moment? // i have been working for a long time on a long-term project with my family in germany. they are all portraits revolving around the people and things i grew up with. over time it has become quite a substantial project dealing with, amongst other things, my mother’s dementia, and my parents are moving out of the family home and it’s all about the house and their things. this was originally about my need to capture a moment; when you live abroad and visit home you notice the changes more.
