This collection of 24 selected photographs is my hommage and declaration of love to cinematic art. "Lichtspielhaus" is the old german word for "movie theater". Every single work is designed to represent a frame from a fictional movie. Some images are allusions to well known classic films.

I have always been inspired by the visual aesthetics of film art. With the help of the imagery, feelings and associations are transported that reach the viewer with a specific intention. Every filmmaker has his own style and therefore a certain way of illuminating and staging these feelings in situations. Personally, I have always been fascinated by the combination of surreal and poetic moments in film which I wanted to express with this collection.

These photographs were taken in Iceland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Germany over a period of four years.
