The Inventory Studio Series registers the studio environment through direct contact. Objects and architectural elements leave their imprint on the surface, producing images that emerge from proximity rather than depiction. The works function as a form of material indexing, in which what is present inscribes itself without mediation.
These impressions occupy an unstable position between trace and image, presence and absence. What appears is neither a representation nor the object itself, but a residue of their encounter. In this way, the works foreground perception as an act of reconstruction, where the viewer assembles spatial and material relations from partial, ghostlike evidence.
The first series, titled Inventory Studio Prenzlauer Berg, emerged from a desire to record my studio during an artist residency in Berlin. It builds on the long tradition of the artist’s studio as a subject in its own right—a genre spanning four centuries, in which artists have depicted their studios as spaces of making, observation and artistic identity.
