Photographerâs note.
2025 marks exactly ten years since I arrived in Berlin. To commemorate this milestone, I have created my first photo book, compiling works from the past five years.
Tickets from the last five years. A collection of personal moments when, leaving my base in Berlin, I encountered unexpected experiences that struck me with strong visual interest. More than simple snapshots, these are moments when I pressed the shutter compelled by a sense of necessity at the time.
To make this book, I took countless flights, and selecting the title and curating the images involved extensive reflection and care. Still, I hope youâll enjoy this book with a slightly loose, relaxed gaze.Â
About the title.
âTickets take you somewhere, without that somewhere necessarily being a holiday. Where you go and why remains open. It isnât too cute, nor is it too programmatic.
The word also has a pleasing rhythm â something percussive in its T-, K-, and S-sounds.
The name could refer both to the tickets that took you somewhere to photograph, and to the photos as tickets themselves, a window to a place to be looked at. The directionality inherent in both photography (youâre allowed to see this, but not what surrounds it) and tickets (they grant access to one specific thing or event) makes the
word resonate as a title for a photo book.â
Unlike the photos Iâm commissioned to take, these are the ones I commissioned myself to make â and this investment in my own âvision,â if you will, feels essential to me, a part of my photography worth preserving within the pages of a book.
