The stone looks like a heart!

In 2021 I began to work with my grandmother’s artistic legacy – Elisabeth Kiesser was a visual artist and graphic designer. After her passing, I discovered similarities between her paintings and my own photographs.

In 2021 I began to work with my grandmother’s artistic legacy – Elisabeth Kießer (1936-2021), a visual artist and graphic designer who left more than 250 watercolors, sketches, clay sculptures, painted wooden objects, silk scarves and illustrated books.

After Elisabeth’s passing, I discovered similarities between her paintings and my own photographs. I began to explore the connection between women, nature and art and started to combine my own work with my grandmother’s.

Currently the project consists of eleven watercolors by my grandmother, five of my photographs printed on fabric, two short films (you can watch one of them here: https://youtu.be/kRYIa7BqojI), selected books on flowers and gardening form my grandparents library and a reading performance in which I am joined by a viola or contrabass player to improvise.

The project has been exhibited in Berlin and Nuremberg, Germany and during the Experimental Photo Festival in Barcelona, Spain in 2024.
