Atlas of the Essence is an ongoing work in progess, which currently consists of 13 works. It is the result of a critical examination of images of the mainstream media, their perception and the artistic research for counter-images.  
Conflicts, catastrophes, political scandals and terror dominate the media. The works of the serie break with our understanding of the image and unite a multitude of existing photographs of individual events in one image, creating chaos, ambiguities, gaps and new insights through superimposition.
The artistic research behind the practice is about questioning existing image-strategies, which provides us with information and insights of contemporary events and happenings. The developed works are counter-images, which demand a new perceiption and therefor interaction with the depicted and our contemporary life, which works against the habituation of horror, which is a results of the image and media strategies, which had been established since decades.

The work is devided in parts, which are still growing and developing. The first works deal with conflicts and wars. They are archival pigment prints on Hahnemühle Baryta 325g in 110x165cm in black wooden shadow frames. The works of the second parts deal with social issues. These works are C-Prints on PVC 500g, in 167x250cm with steel and wood frames on two sides.
