INSPIRATION WEEK is not an exhibition format.
It is a curated space for dialogue.

There are places where time follows a different rhythm. Haus Marck is one of them. Here—where the preliminary negotiations of the Peace of Westphalia took place as early as 1643—history, stillness, and intellectual exchange converge into a unique presence.

Each year, at the beginning of spring, Haus Marck becomes my retreat for one week. This period of focus and reorientation has a lasting impact on my artistic practice.

The INSPIRATION WEEK marks the conceptual starting point of my long-term projects. In 2024, the first ideas for “MARCO – Venice in the Footsteps of Marco Polo” emerged here.

 

A SEVEN-STAR IMAGE is created in a precisely composed process:

✨ 1st Star – The Discovery
An unexpected moment. A place full of energy. The process begins intuitively.

✨ 2nd Star – The Research
History, cultural significance, and the present converge to form context.

✨ 3. Star – The Photographic Encounter
An intense dialogue with the place. Light, time, and movement become co-creators.

✨ 4. Star – The Selection
Reduced to a maximum of seven motifs – focused, balanced, precise.

✨ 5. Star – The Test Prints
Materiality is decisive. The work becomes...

✨ 6th Star – The Fine Art Print
Limited editions in museum quality. Each work possesses its own unique presence.

✨ 7th Star – INSPIRATION WEEK
Through dialogue with collectors, thinkers, and international perspectives, the final dimension unfolds: reflection.

Only here does the work become complete.

A SEVEN-STAR IMAGE is more than a photograph.
It is the condensation of place, time, perception, and knowledge—a work that carries meaning before it becomes an object of ownership.
