These three experimental artworks (40x60cm c-type on aluminium dibond) I created 15 years ago for my first solo exhibition in 2009. Back in 2006 I traveled regularly in the German Ruhr area to capture large factory buildings and the remaining parts of the old industrial heritage. These photos I used as basis for experimental photo manipulations. Looking back on this time, I remember that at that moment I was still searching for a certain direction. I had only been working full-time with images for a few years, so there was still much to learn and discover.
