A Heart of Youth

Growing up in traffic.

Surrounded by concrete.

Lots of people, most of them strangers.

Everybody wants to go to the city.

But 200 young people from this city will meet in the countryside 

in summer 2019.

A festival by young people for young people.

A small circle, friends and friends of friends.

At 8 a.m. in the morning.

On a field near Berlin.


INTERVIEW

What do you search in your photography?

What inspires me is  reducing the prints  among an only  image selection. Defining only a limited number of prints, I’m able to represent a narrative with detail and precision , allowing a further vision  on the visual representations.
In what way do you think about the word ‘Youth’?

Youth is not only a process or a certain epoque in lifetime. Youth is a mental state, which means that it does not have a starting point or an end. It can appear in different moments of your life.

In your composition, you talk about young people who want to go to the city but still they find their space in the countryside. How does both work as a gathering space?

I'm referring to the different dynamics within various groups of young people. Especially, residents of rural areas and small towns flock to Berlin in large numbers. Berlin's youth, on the other hand, often leave the city, and it's in this context, like at the small festival around Berlin depicted here, where moments of freedom and uncomplicated unity take place. Perhaps it's the contrast between the pursuit of adventure and the pursuit of tranquility.

How would you like the public to perceive your work?

That's not for me to determine. I capture moments in my surroundings and during my travels. How they are perceived depends on each individual viewer. Both Berlin and Paris are places where, in principle, this interest knows no bounds. Perhaps, on the contrary, the abundance of artistic production surrounding you might inhibit or at least complicate your own orientation.

How an artistic community should be created?

I don't believe there should be any  guidelines. In today's times, the possibilities for networking  are immense and, therefore, they also represent an unprecedented potential for artistic exchange.
I see emergent projects as a very interesting way to connect young people and artists in particular, and to explore shared and different experiences. I think the potential of global networks, in particular, opens countless doors to artistic exchange and inspiration
