PERCHANCE TO DREAM – Fleeting moments of everyday life alternate with theatrical stagings of transsexuality.
Offene Räume
With half a line from Hamlet’s soliloquy “to be or not to be”, I immerse myself in a world between fantasy and reality, between authenticity and staging. As if in a daydream, I set off with my partner Bernhard – and his trans identity Barbara – on a journey through constantly changing scenarios in urban spaces, natural worlds, and theatrical settings. Fleeting moments of everyday life alternate with theatrical stagings of transsexuality. Like in everyday life with my partner, there is no clearly defined separation between their identities. As a chronicle of the last few years, my particular focus is on the search for inner images. To this end, I do not realize precisely planned visual worlds in my stagings but remain open to the unexpected and provoking chance at best.
The entire series comprises sixty photographs, which will be published in 2025 by Edition Babev, in two overlapping books in one, made of diptychs and triptychs. The book is conceived in a photobook workshop and designed by Tomasz Laczny.
