Set in the rural outskirts of Austria, my work explores how ideals of small-town life are portrayed. Over the past three years, I have been passionately developing Vorort, a long-term photographic project that constructs a fictional version of the neighborhood where I live. Moving between candid photographs, screenplay fragments, and staged scenes performed by actors in order to construct images that reflect my own sense of isolation. Landscapes are printed onto fabric and rephotographed as theatrical backdrops. Some actors appear alongside actual residents, blurring the boundary between observation and performance. The neighborhood becomes both a physical place and a projection of the experience of being an outsider.

The work debuted at FOTOHOF Calling in 2024 and was later exhibited at my MFA Graduation Thesis Show in August 2025. Most recently, Vorort was a featured project on PhMuseum, as well as on Lenscratch in the MFA Review. I am currently developing it into a book, which will be presented at upcoming exhibitions in 2026, including Photobook Mania in Bologna and a group exhibition Baxter Street Gallery, NYC.

Alongside this personal work, I also bring experience collaborating with commercial clients and creating commissioned portraits.
