Johannes—Berliner Philharmonie, Triptych







This limited edition triptych is part of the My Favorite Space series, where I capture the deep connection between individuals and the spaces that shape their lives. Photographed at the iconic Berliner Philharmonie, these three images reveal a visual dialogue between architecture, memory, and personal history. With its striking design, the Philharmonie resonates as a cultural landmark and a deeply personal space tied to childhood memories and artistic heritage.

Featured in the Domestic Dialogues exhibition, this piece invites viewers to explore how space can embody both personal and cultural narratives. Captured using a Hasselblad 500C/M analogue camera, the images convey the texture and richness that only film can provide, drawing attention to the intricate details of the building’s structure and atmosphere. The triptych offers a unique perspective on how iconic spaces influence and reflect individual identity.
