Zentrum is a collection of photographs taken in the city of Vienna in 2024 - 2025. The photography is inspired by street photography, urban minimalism and the exploration of the urban surroundings in which the personal life is located. Similarities appear to photography movements such as the New Topographics in the 1970s that focused on man-altered landscapes.

The photography and its exploration of the urban environment inspired new musical interfaces, such as the cartographic sound device Atlas or the manifested childhood  memories with Ratter. 

A series of photographs was first presented at the exhibition Zentrum at Xian, Vienna, 2025. Exhibited as pigment prints in 30cm x 42cm which were mounted on roll paper.
Additionally the photozine Zentrum #1 was printed and released during the exhibition. It presents the exhibited black and white photographs and more on 32 pages.
