Series Death Won’t Tear Us Apart

Series: Death Won’t Tear Us Apart

This ongoing series of photo collages is printed on wood and combines documentary precision with painterly alienation. Dead animals, found by chance in nature or on the street, are transported into a second, imaginary sphere. Painting and digital transformations elevate the photographic elements to a poetic level: the images are memento mori and at the same time a vision of another, supernatural existence.

Death Won’t Tear Us Apart transforms chance finds into images in which nature and the cosmos, brutality and tenderness, reality and imagination merge into a touching, almost metaphysical unity.

Impact, Photo Collage Print on Wood, 09/25

A bird of prey, smashed on the road, seems to be floating in a sea of stars. The grainy texture of the asphalt blends with the sparkling Milky Way. Here, finitude and infinity collide, the brutal harshness of the earthly impact contrasting with the cosmic vastness of the sky.

Horizon, Photo Collage, Print on wood 09/25

The female blackbird lies frozen in the snow on a snow-covered wooden post, as if on an altar. Above her stretches a cloudless, wide sky. The quiet clarity of this scene transforms the moment of death into a silent meditation on letting go and the fragility of life.

Drift, Photo Collage, Photoprint on wood, 08/25

The motionless badger is embedded in a web of algae and sea plants, as if it had been washed up on the bottom of a silent ocean. Land animals and the underwater world merge into a mythical image—a transition from familiar earth to a dreamlike deep sea.

Nightfalls, Photo Collage, Print on Wood, 02/23

The bleeding wild boar hangs between two birch trees in the sandy landscape of a former military training area. Above it all lies the light of a pale moonlit night. The scene appears archaic and timeless—an image in which violence, nature, and cosmic silence overlap.

Paradise Ahead, Photo Collage, Photoprint on Wood, 08/25

In the dense forest, the light of the setting sun flickers between the bare branches. An intensely red bird sits on a branch, glowing unrealistically. Its color seems like an echo from another world. The image intertwines the quiet, almost sacred atmosphere of the winter forest with a moment of pure promise: a floating hint of a paradise that may have already begun—or is yet to come.
