Tierpark
This one was basically inspired by the backrooms aesthetics, I find that repetititive universe pretty cool for a variety of reasons. I mixed that with the beautiful pictures made by photographer @hangschlitt in various undergrounds in the world but especially the Berlin Ubahn. The electric colours, the flashy yellow and greens, the 1960s look about

Windows
This is the first time I try to change the format of my boxes dioramas. i had to create the box by myself though which proved kind of hard since I’m no wood worker. Thiçs is a simple exercice of contrast, repetition like a music rhythm. The woman is noone in particular.

Suimsuit III
The last of the series. I wanted to make another contrast between the flowery bathing suit and a very blue swimming pool. Instead of catapulting my model in my rusty world, I thought it would be nice to get into her own. With lights from the past and a clear horizon ahead.

Shoebill
This one is not even taken out of my fantasy. It shows the real story of that Berlin nurse that collected that #shoebill after the zoo was bombed in 1943. If you Google the event you will see a picture of her handfeeding the bird in her bathroom that she transformed in a zoo cage. Of course

Behemoth
When I was doing my military service I was working near the exit of the airbase. And there was that bearded guy, a fully armed commando that I befriended because he was listening to metal band Behemoth in his little cage near the red barrier. Really I am thinking of this because I was searching for
