A monochrome close-up of a dark bicycle helmet caught among a dense web of bare, thorny branches. The helmet hangs at the centre of the image like an abandoned object, its curved shell and oval ventilation openings standing out against the pale, softly blurred background. Tangled twigs criss-cross the frame in every direction, creating a restless, fragile structure around the smooth, manufactured form. The contrast between the discarded helmet and the wild overgrowth gives the scene a quiet, slightly surreal atmosphere of neglect, entrapment and urban decay.

Sepia-toned photograph of a quiet urban façade featuring a large, weathered wooden gate set into a pale masonry wall. Three mailboxes and a slim vertical door panel are fixed to the dark timber, while the house number 62 is clearly visible to the right. A barred window, a wall-mounted lantern, a flag projecting above the entrance, and sparse climbing vines add strong graphic accents to the scene. Cobblestones in the foreground and the contrast between smooth stone blocks and rough wood create a restrained, almost cinematic mood of stillness, age, and lived-in history.

A monochrome, slightly sepia-toned cityscape featuring the wide, light-colored facade of a large modern building (Audi parking garage in Berlin-Adlershof), which stretches across the entire background of the image almost like a solid wall. Bare trees frame the scene on the left and right, while parked cars, traffic signs, and a traffic light in the foreground point to an anonymous urban periphery. The strict grid structure of the facade contrasts with the delicate, dark branches of the trees. The image appears cool, quiet, and distant—like a sober view of functional urban architecture in winter light.

High-contrast, almost monochrome close-up of a discarded paper cup leaning at an angle against a rough wall or edge. Beside it lies a torn, coarsely woven strap or fabric belt, dusty and heavily frayed, looping and folding across the dark ground. Harsh light and deep shadows emphasise the worn surfaces, the dirt, and the tactile materiality of the scene. The image feels quiet, raw, and intense – a small urban still life shaped by decay, traces of use, and casually abandoned objects.

Sepia-toned street scene featuring a historic corner building with a pale façade and a small turret, standing out in angled light. In front of it, a construction site stretches along the road with barriers, trenches, and mounds of earth. On the right, a tall streetlight rises beside a circular 50 km/h speed limit sign. Bare trees and a few smaller houses in the background deepen the quiet, slightly melancholic atmosphere of an urban space in transition.

Close-up photo of weathered blue corrugated metal with heavy rust speckles, peeling paint, and patches of bright green moss and dirt. Strong sunlight creates high-contrast highlights and deep shadows across the ridges, while dry leaves and a thin stem lie along the top edge, emphasizing an aged, gritty industrial texture.

The image is dominated by high-contrast clouds and four chimneys in the background. On the left edge of the image, you can see part of a billboard with two men doing gymnastics. On the right, the image is bordered by advertising banners for a car dealership. The image is so grainy that the subject appears raw and blurred.

Black-and-white triptych with black frame. The panels show sections of dilapidated concrete facade elements of an apartment building. The left panel shows a row of facade panels with windows tilted to the left. The middle panel shows two balconies, slightly tilted to the right. The right panel shows facade panels with three round windows arranged one above the other (tilted to the right). The concrete has flaked off the facade panels, balconies, and windows, exposing some of the corroded steel reinforcement.
