Topografien einer Ordnung 2025 ongoing How does the power of a state become visible, and what remains hidden? 
The state apparatus reveals itself through spaces, rituals, and symbols that make its presence and authority clear, yet much remains invisible – only perceptible in processes that exist on paper or on screens. This work deals with spaces and scenes that represent the separation of powers – legislative, executive, judiciary, and media – and concretize an abstract concept of freedom into tangible forms. A mechanism that is realized through institutions and is manifested both in daily life and in practice.
It is decisive for the perception of homeland, which thereby becomes visible as an interface – a place of security, but also of mutual control.
