german structuralism is a project that reflects on my personal visual heritage. Generations later, the Second World War still has left visible traces in our surroundings. Having grown up next to a Former British military station and having had to pass its long and imposing fence (isolating the station from the rest of the city) every day on way to school, left me pondering on the issue of “the wall”. What does it mean to separate people by a frontier and who is standing on either side? Having had a childhood full of freedom and privileges, I began wondering about the meaning of the wall in my personal but also cultural and historical context and where to position myself in this dialogue.

The project consists of three states: construction, destruction, restruction. The final work represents the neatly arranged traces of incomprehensible destruction which weighs on the German history until today.
