7 Mary Street

My late grandparents’ home, a treasury of many lives. Four folding maps, uniting a house and interwoven memories. Diary entries by four generations shape the typographic floor plans, ranging from my great-grandfathers’ solid fundament to the airy attic strung together by my own memories.

Publication and Exhibition

This work was featured in Ulrike Stoltz’ publication “Kreuz & Quer / Hin & Her” on zapping or non-linear reading in books as part of the chapter Topography/Cartography, titled as Memory.1 I’m delighted to see 7 Mary Street in such good company as the diploma projects “Bild und Wirklichkeit” by Vera Grönegress and “Topoi” by André Baumunk.
