Currently at the printer. Soon on paper, ready to wander.

serendipity dispatch — issue #03
Scenes gathered between Bremen and Venice, Billund and Lake Constance — not one trip but many short detours. What connects them is a tension between play and gravity: a child inside a shark’s mouth, Lego heads grinning beside blood and metal. Everyday and monumental, private and public, order and chance coexist without resolution. The issue becomes a field of fragments, a record of attention rather than explanation.

California by road: wind farms, freeways, and domesticated wildlife. Between optimism and exhaustion, the photographs follow a landscape built for acceleration — where coincidence becomes the last form of wonder.

A brief hymn to circles, spirals, and the comfort of geometry. Where logic meets dizziness — and perfection remains slightly off-centre.

serendipity dispatch — issue 00
Across Germany: a brutalist chapel, sheep among vines, an AfD rally in a small town. Between myth and asphalt, the road cuts through landscapes of belief, fatigue, and chance encounters — a first attempt to read the country by its edges.

tomorrow it’s gonna be perfect
Photographs from sites where progress is always just postponed — scaffolding, dust, and the optimism of wet concrete. A study of how perfection keeps moving one day ahead.
