Project
Beauty in Differences
Description
During my six-month stay in the United States, I focused on the cultural contrasts between Michigan and Austria. One of the first things I noticed was how little people walk in everyday life compared to what I was used to. This inspired the core idea of my exhibition: to create a walking experience that encourages slowing down and active observation.

At the College for Creative Studies, I designed an exhibition featuring eight analog photographs, each one symbolizing a different cultural insight. The photos hang from the ceiling, creating a floating effect that mirrors the fluid and subjective nature of culture. As visitors move through the space, they trigger voiceovers by pressing buttons — listening through headphones to short stories and thoughts connected to each image. At the end of this journey, the photographs come together in a collage, offering a broader perspective through the sum of all impressions.
The choice of using an analog camera was intentional. In a world overflowing with digital content and social media noise, analog photography forces you to slow down, observe more consciously, and trust your instincts. It became both a creative and cultural statement — cutting through the digital overwhelm with something tangible and timeless.
