Writing

I regularly write essays for monographs, thematic publications and exhibition catalogue. Recent publications include Flora Photographica, authored with William Ewing, published by Thames & Hudson in 2022, the article for the Swiss Art Dictionary SIKART on Marion Tampon-Lajarriette, and essays for the monographs of Anne Morgenstern (2022), Peter Hauser (2020), David Gagnebin-de Bons (2020).

Upcoming publications with my contributions include monographs by Brigitte Lustenberger (2023) and Marianne Marić (2024).
