Documentary Projects 2nd Place

The racist attack of 19 February 2020 in Hanau, Hessen, shook German society. This photo essay accompanies the friends and relatives of those tragically murdered. In the weeks and months following the attack, while an entire city was still reeling from the shock, solidarity groups and initiatives began forming to support the survivors of the attack. Mourning developed into anger and the desire for change. These photographs provide intimate access to the families and friends affected, who have all lost important people in their lives.

I grew up between a franconian small town, Austrian mountain scape and so called german „no-go areas“. Shaped by insights on different cultures and ways of life, i am interested in social phenomena and tensions of society. Today, i focus on those topics with artistic and documentary approaches.
