I started my studying career in 2007 when I got enrolled to the Humboldt-University in Berlin to start theology. But since my wish to become an artist was stronger than to get educated as a theological philosopher I applied parallel to the beginning of the theological study at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig where I got accepted and where I started in 2008. From 2008 to 2010 at the Basic Study with Prof. Christin Lahr, from 2010 to 2013 during my main study period in the class of Prof. Günther Selichar. I participated in various group-exhibitions and gained different stipends such as a production grant by the Austrian National Television (ORF III). My film "Sorry that I asked" was broadcasted nationwide,in May 2013. In 2013 Prof. Clemens von Wedemeyer started his professorship at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig and I continued my Study in his class (Class-Name: expanded cinema). In July 2014 I graduated with my diploma including a honour distinction. Since 2010 I am additionally a guest student in the class of Prof. Candice Breitz at the HBK Braunschweig. I was born the 19th of April, 1984 in Munich. After my school career I got educated as a graphic designer.
