About me
Communication, according to the official definition, is the exchange of people with the help of language and signs. It is precisely this exchange that is the focus of my work, whether as a journalist and author or as the founder of NEUE GALERIE BERLIN. As a journalist, the focus is on language; as a gallery owner and entrepreneur, the focus is on the expressiveness and unifying element of images – be it photography or any form of modern and digital imagery.
