Jigsaw Falling into Place is my first photobook — a limited edition of just 100 copies. In 2024, it received the Bronze Medal at the Deutscher Fotobuchpreis (German Photobook Award).

The series is a visual exploration of my conflicted relationship with the surreal, incoherent, and chaotic structure of the urban environment — and the way it shapes the people who live in it.

I moved to Düsseldorf twenty years ago, when parts of the city still carried the outspoken character and history of its post–World War II architecture and industrial past. Over the last decade, the city has been transformed into something sleeker and more commercial, its social fabric reshaped in the process.

These photographs reflect on that shift — from a city to an open-air mall — where advertising and architecture blur the line between fantasy and reality, and where people drift from citizens to consumers. My images are driven by both resistance to these changes and fascination with the city’s jagged visual energy, which keeps pulling me back to the places that overload my senses.

The book contains 57 photographs over 80 pages, in a 20 × 30 cm format, printed on 200 g/m² paper with careful sequencing and pairing to create a visual rhythm.

Copies are €30 + shipping (€6 within Germany; please enquire for Europe and worldwide rates).
