Logensitz

Novel of a golden generation

Illustration: man in a box seat with a glass, in front of a burning globe
LOGENSITZNovel

I have the best seat in the house.

A first-person narrator in his mid-forties, a box seat above the end of the world and a look back at the eighties, nineties and noughties. At the generation in between: analogue enough to still be personal, technical enough to already be comfortable.

Told through music and built like an album. Chapters are tracks, with commercial breaks in between, and after the epilogue a hidden track is waiting. Right now the whole thing is getting its second pass: more scenes, more dialogue, less summary.

Sign up and be the first to know when the book comes out. The novel is written in German.

Journal

Short stories.
Long echo.

There's a story behind every picture, and most of the time it's funnier than the picture. In the journal I tell them: about shoots, encounters and things that go wrong. Soon also short stories that have nothing to do with photography.

Geli, or: how to book a friendship without ordering one

How a makeup artist named Angelika Oswald walked into my work life through someone else's booking — and stayed. A note about coincidence, skin texture, and capsized boats.
