growing up in the outskirts of munich, residential architecture played a major role for me when growing up. Fascinated by the way family homes are all so similar and different at the same time, suburbanite is a celebration of the beauty of the german suburbia. Endless stretches of thuia hedges line up next to a variety of picket fences. It seems that the architecture of these vernacular places wants to stay hidden behind a wall of privacy. One can only guess what is going on inside of these homes. Only at nighttime when everybody else seems to be asleep, the sleeping town comes alive. Illuminated by the headlights of cars and the sodium vapour street lights, the landscape transforms into an eerie and liminal place. „Surburbanite“ tries to capture the feeling a strolling through a seemingly empty town, abandoned by their inhabitants . The viewer becomes the „suburbanite“ (eng. „a person inhabiting the suburbs“).
