The classification follows both a chronological and a content-related progression:
Initially, the focus was on technical experiments – first attempts with rotating objects during a winter vacation, later with specially developed turntables and adapted electronics.
With growing understanding, more complex setups and own software solutions were developed to cope with the growing amount of data from slit-scan photography.
This section marks Phase I: Origins and Exploration – with series such as The Berliners, The Blues, and The Reds.
The following phase, Change and Expansion II, stands for the conscious deepening of the method.
New mechanical structures, mirror installations and a change in lighting expanded the expressive possibilities.
The first exhibitions and sales gave the artistic work a new direction.
Series such as The Move, The Wishful Thinking and The Coral Gables belong to this phase.
The third phase, III. site-related condensation, leads the developed visual language into an atmospherically dense examination of concrete places.
Miami Twice, The Way to Montauk and The Garden reflect personal and professional milestones – including exhibitions in Miami, encounters and conversations with gallery owners and a look back at an artistic and personal development characterized by slit-scan photography.
What unites all works is the desire not to depict space and time, but to render them as fluid, visually perceptible transitions between structure, perception, and emotion.
The beginnings of the Space over Time series were shaped by playful curiosity and technical inventiveness. First rotating objects, custom-built turntables, self-developed software to manage the data load – and the realization that slit-scan technology opens up entirely new visual spaces.
This phase expanded the spectrum: new technical setups, complex mirror installations, and the first large-format exhibitions. The works from this time reflect growing maturity – and a clear expansion toward greater artistic depth and expressive power.
The series gathered here connect personal experiences with specific places: travels, exhibitions, encounters. The pictures carry atmospheric traces and condense what has been achieved so far into an emotionally and formally dense expression of space and time.
