Old science fiction movies and an abandoned railway line in former East Germany coalesce to become an extraordinary trip to the world of fantasy. This series thematizes social gaps, cultural differences and time travel. Between Spock, Captain Kirk and empty decaying train stations a crack in time opens between the past and the future.
This photo series is based on collages of images from Star Trek and nighttime photos of old rail lines and obsolete railway cars. Future meets past. TV meets analog photography. This collision of nostalgia and utopia irritates and awakens longings, both for what is past and for what is yet to come.
