Another Place

This project is rooted in conversations with my mother. Her memories of life in a country she once called home unfold in fragments—fleeting images, moments suspended in time, details sharpened or softened by distance. She speaks of belonging and estrangement, of a country still in the process of defining itself, of a home that was, for her, never entirely whole.
Through photography, I navigate these stories, moving through landscapes she once inhabited and those she later came to call home. Stepping into spaces that no longer hold the same meaning, I trace the echoes of a life that has been lived across borders. The ground I encounter is not the one she describes. Some places have changed, others have disappeared. Memory has its own architecture–what is lost is just as present as what remains.
The images in this series are not representations, but echoes. They hold something unresolved, something shifting. A landscape that belongs to two perspectives at once. A place that is both remembered and unknown.
At its core, Another Place is about the fluidity of identity, the instability of memory, and the ways in which we carry the past with us—sometimes without realizing it. It is about home, but not as a fixed point. Home as movement, as absence, as something that is always just slightly out of reach.

For decades, Wustrow was shaped by shifting powers. In the early 20th century, it was transformed into a military training ground, first used by the German army and later taken over by the Soviet forces after World War II. Entire infrastructures were built—barracks, bunkers, air-raid shelters, even a school and a hospital. When the Soviet troops withdrew in the early 1990s, the peninsula was abandoned, declared private property, and closed to the public.
Despite its inaccessibility, traces of its past remain remarkably intact. Unlike so-called "Lost Places" Wustrow has been left largely undisturbed. The absence of intrusion preserves not just the architecture, but also the quiet tension between past function and present stillness.
Through photography, these spaces are observed as they are—without reconstruction, without resolution. The images do not attempt to reclaim what was, nor do they predict what will be. They simply hold the weight of what remains.
The series was first exhibited at De Drom Galerie, Kröpelin, from August 1 to October 10, 2019, alongside works by photographer Sven Kierst.
