My Favourite Childhood Nightmares” not only deals with fears and dreams, the unconscious or the childhood, it is also an attempt to combine two traditional types of media and create something completely new.

The image formation of the animated photographs and their infinite movement pull the viewer into the picture. Different stories come to live in the viewer’s mind, depending on one’s personal experiences and perception.

“My animated photographs seem to got stuck on their way forward, they are looking for release in some sort of infinite loop – and that’s where they unfold their very own melancholy, their magic.”
