Neighbourhood

Plüschow 2019

My photographic work “Neighbourhood“ emerged during a three month stay in Plüschow in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in 2019. I took photographic portraits of altogether five persons from my neighbourhood there.

In the sparsely populated and agriculturally shaped surroundings of Plüschow one rarely meets other people in everday life. This drew my interest to the inhabitants of this structurally weak region.

In doing so, I pursued the question of who lives here, which traces of the immediate surroundings tell something about the circumstances of a person, and to what extent I can photographically draw a careful portrait of the neighbourhood.
