I photograph cities with a view to their normality, their architecture, which brands are predominant, for example. How does advertising correspond with public space? In Chemnitz, it is noticeable that brands that are usually placed in peripheral areas are present in the centre, such as Pfennigpfeiffer or Dänisches Bettenlager. People usually appear as small beings that are almost unrecognisable between buildings.

The city series are ongoing.
