How do we approach that which eludes our understanding? Through various interfaces – instruments, practices, technologies and places – we attempt to gain access to the inexplicable and non-material. From space telescopes to dark matter detectors to shamanic journeys of consciousness: they all serve as bridges to something that lies beyond our everyday understanding—the invisible, the incomprehensible, the unnameable. This photographic research project moves along these lines of tension.

The visual language oscillates between the devices built to gain knowledge and those moments in which the thirst for knowledge dissolves into the spiritual, the symbolic, the physical. "Ist das, was ist?" (Is that, what is?) does not seek answers, but rather forms of approximation. It is an attempt to make interfaces visible—and the stories, projections, and worldviews that flow through them.
