The Harz Mountains serve as stage for one of Germany’s most profound ecological crises: Once the epitome of Germany’s iconic forest landscapes, vast areas now stand reduced to a mere collection of spruce snags – the result of intensive plantation forestry and climate change. »Totholz« (“Deadwood”) visualizes the downfall of an entire mountain range and operates at the intersection between documentary precision and melancholic aesthetics.

»Diary of a Hillside Field« follows a typical East Westphalian hillside throughout most of 2026 by documenting it every day at exactly six p.m. solar time, witnessing a near-entire solar and agricultural cycle and compressing it into a compact block.

»Totholz II« is a reduced and concentrated second iteration of the original »Totholz« concept, focusing on and expanding upon the latter's long-exposure star photographs motif.
