Die Teenager schufen jeden Tag ihr eigenes Universum und ließen mich für eine kurze Zeit an ihrem Leben teilhaben. Im Einklang mit traditioneller Prägung und dem ganz normalen Leben im 21. Jahrhundert ist Girlhood eine Arbeit über das Heranwachsen und die scheinbar ewigen Sommer an der Schwelle zum Erwachsensein. Diese Serie entstand während einer Artist Residency, ermöglicht durch dolomitenstadt.at, HIER kann einen Fine Art Print der Serie erworben werden. Girlhood war im Sprengel Museum Hannover, der Kunstwerkstatt Lienz und der Fotogalerie Friedrichshain in Berlin zu sehen. Die Serie ist außerdem in der aktuellen Sachbuchreihe “schneeblind” Band #13 vertreten, mit einem Text der Autorin Ines Frieda Försterling. “Hinterm Berg - Notizen aus Osttirol” kann hier erworben werden: https://www.uibk.ac.at/iup/buecher/9783991061021.html <img width="2500" height="1875" width_o="2500" height_o="1875" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ef9fc95081ce7252bc575e2121bf1478cb686647ed7c83bcc13dd80827750dd/Girlhood_3.jpg" data-mid="124754774" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7ef9fc95081ce7252bc575e2121bf1478cb686647ed7c83bcc13dd80827750dd/Girlhood_3.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6822f9c88665ddf160452737c81cd4a3ca6bd7b2d023c1d504265e610bab87cc/Girlhood_1.jpg" data-mid="124754770" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6822f9c88665ddf160452737c81cd4a3ca6bd7b2d023c1d504265e610bab87cc/Girlhood_1.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e1226357e6671ac3ae8fdf813533e8678eebc14d92f035cf2aa72b0343e4e867/Girlhood_2.jpg" data-mid="124754772" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e1226357e6671ac3ae8fdf813533e8678eebc14d92f035cf2aa72b0343e4e867/Girlhood_2.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6aac3248695bb0ec35872e2f294879429da3f6144fc1427166ae2ae9861f0bb/Girlhood_9.jpg" data-mid="124754781" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d6aac3248695bb0ec35872e2f294879429da3f6144fc1427166ae2ae9861f0bb/Girlhood_9.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d12a35a38bc98511bc345d5cd3f84db6be8a7d9c12cd1b063de02a03920bbb7/Girlhood_6.jpg" data-mid="124754778" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d12a35a38bc98511bc345d5cd3f84db6be8a7d9c12cd1b063de02a03920bbb7/Girlhood_6.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9abab79b56336c83ec2f3799c86f7f159861a1bdb99bd4bee9b3201d6cf61bd6/Girlhood_10.jpg" data-mid="124754784" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9abab79b56336c83ec2f3799c86f7f159861a1bdb99bd4bee9b3201d6cf61bd6/Girlhood_10.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/13d298f24a548234c88542070ecf2d2fd8715b26cd2dedec1972b5b1d635ce5c/Girlhood_7.jpg" data-mid="124754779" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/13d298f24a548234c88542070ecf2d2fd8715b26cd2dedec1972b5b1d635ce5c/Girlhood_7.jpg" /> <img width="1999" height="1499" width_o="1999" height_o="1499" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e715498578439bca1c05e5317ba79d9ba11b99aa8104a025e5ab08f409f9d456/Girlhood_MaidjeMeergans-12.jpg" data-mid="124839303" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e715498578439bca1c05e5317ba79d9ba11b99aa8104a025e5ab08f409f9d456/Girlhood_MaidjeMeergans-12.jpg" /> <img width="1999" height="1499" width_o="1999" height_o="1499" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7f998e8d8c1de67fb97b785269f7756f13668a9cbb0024bf4b2979bc8ea1926b/Girlhood_MaidjeMeergans-11.jpg" data-mid="124839299" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7f998e8d8c1de67fb97b785269f7756f13668a9cbb0024bf4b2979bc8ea1926b/Girlhood_MaidjeMeergans-11.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81737bdfc861eeab4fa224a79ee7171d5101d856f10961ef6eb5ae68b55f519e/Girlhood_11.jpg" data-mid="124754789" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81737bdfc861eeab4fa224a79ee7171d5101d856f10961ef6eb5ae68b55f519e/Girlhood_11.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/657f606990cdb4ad81710b6882692979bba382cef8ba329b6152b1c5b544f752/Girlhood_4.jpg" data-mid="124754775" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/657f606990cdb4ad81710b6882692979bba382cef8ba329b6152b1c5b544f752/Girlhood_4.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1875" width_o="2500" height_o="1875" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7547963b7d0bad109afba0eae525867848a9275a958ec62aeda7a5efa209980f/Girlhood_12.jpg" data-mid="124754793" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7547963b7d0bad109afba0eae525867848a9275a958ec62aeda7a5efa209980f/Girlhood_12.jpg" /> ︎︎︎ ︎︎︎ 2026.

This series was developed during an Artist Residency in Austria, HERE you can purchase a limited edition fine art print of the series. In 2022 it was own view at Sprengel Museum Hannover, Kunstwerkstatt Lienz and the year before at Fotogalerie Friedrichshain.&nbsp; <img width="2500" height="1875" width_o="2500" height_o="1875" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ef9fc95081ce7252bc575e2121bf1478cb686647ed7c83bcc13dd80827750dd/Girlhood_3.jpg" data-mid="155600761" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7ef9fc95081ce7252bc575e2121bf1478cb686647ed7c83bcc13dd80827750dd/Girlhood_3.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6822f9c88665ddf160452737c81cd4a3ca6bd7b2d023c1d504265e610bab87cc/Girlhood_1.jpg" data-mid="155600759" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6822f9c88665ddf160452737c81cd4a3ca6bd7b2d023c1d504265e610bab87cc/Girlhood_1.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e1226357e6671ac3ae8fdf813533e8678eebc14d92f035cf2aa72b0343e4e867/Girlhood_2.jpg" data-mid="155600760" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e1226357e6671ac3ae8fdf813533e8678eebc14d92f035cf2aa72b0343e4e867/Girlhood_2.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6aac3248695bb0ec35872e2f294879429da3f6144fc1427166ae2ae9861f0bb/Girlhood_9.jpg" data-mid="155600767" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d6aac3248695bb0ec35872e2f294879429da3f6144fc1427166ae2ae9861f0bb/Girlhood_9.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d12a35a38bc98511bc345d5cd3f84db6be8a7d9c12cd1b063de02a03920bbb7/Girlhood_6.jpg" data-mid="155600764" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d12a35a38bc98511bc345d5cd3f84db6be8a7d9c12cd1b063de02a03920bbb7/Girlhood_6.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9abab79b56336c83ec2f3799c86f7f159861a1bdb99bd4bee9b3201d6cf61bd6/Girlhood_10.jpg" data-mid="155600768" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9abab79b56336c83ec2f3799c86f7f159861a1bdb99bd4bee9b3201d6cf61bd6/Girlhood_10.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/13d298f24a548234c88542070ecf2d2fd8715b26cd2dedec1972b5b1d635ce5c/Girlhood_7.jpg" data-mid="155600765" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/13d298f24a548234c88542070ecf2d2fd8715b26cd2dedec1972b5b1d635ce5c/Girlhood_7.jpg" /> <img width="1999" height="1499" width_o="1999" height_o="1499" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e715498578439bca1c05e5317ba79d9ba11b99aa8104a025e5ab08f409f9d456/Girlhood_MaidjeMeergans-12.jpg" data-mid="155600772" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e715498578439bca1c05e5317ba79d9ba11b99aa8104a025e5ab08f409f9d456/Girlhood_MaidjeMeergans-12.jpg" /> <img width="1999" height="1499" width_o="1999" height_o="1499" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7f998e8d8c1de67fb97b785269f7756f13668a9cbb0024bf4b2979bc8ea1926b/Girlhood_MaidjeMeergans-11.jpg" data-mid="155600771" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7f998e8d8c1de67fb97b785269f7756f13668a9cbb0024bf4b2979bc8ea1926b/Girlhood_MaidjeMeergans-11.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81737bdfc861eeab4fa224a79ee7171d5101d856f10961ef6eb5ae68b55f519e/Girlhood_11.jpg" data-mid="155600769" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81737bdfc861eeab4fa224a79ee7171d5101d856f10961ef6eb5ae68b55f519e/Girlhood_11.jpg" /> <img width="1875" height="2500" width_o="1875" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/657f606990cdb4ad81710b6882692979bba382cef8ba329b6152b1c5b544f752/Girlhood_4.jpg" data-mid="155600762" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/657f606990cdb4ad81710b6882692979bba382cef8ba329b6152b1c5b544f752/Girlhood_4.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1875" width_o="2500" height_o="1875" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7547963b7d0bad109afba0eae525867848a9275a958ec62aeda7a5efa209980f/Girlhood_12.jpg" data-mid="155600770" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7547963b7d0bad109afba0eae525867848a9275a958ec62aeda7a5efa209980f/Girlhood_12.jpg" /> ︎︎︎ ︎︎︎ 2026.

Dort entstand meine Fotoserie „d’Jugnd im Innviertel“. Sie zeigt Jugendliche, die den Hof ihrer Eltern übernehmen wollen und von klein auf mitarbeiten. Ihre Zukunft scheint oft schon festgelegt. Gleichzeitig porträtiere ich junge Menschen, die über das Dorf hinausblicken und vielleicht irgendwann weggehen, um etwas anderes zu erleben. Die Arbeit erzählt vom Alltag zwischen Feldern und Vereinen und davon, wie prägend und manchmal auch eng das Leben auf dem Land sein kann. Besonders für jene, die nicht der Mehrheit entsprechen. Vier Monate lang lebte ich selbst im Dorf, nahm am Vereinsleben teil und lernte die sozialen Strukturen kennen, die Kindern und Jugendlichen Halt geben. Trotz vieler Privilegien fühlte ich mich dabei immer wieder als Außenstehende. „d’Jugnd im Innviertel“ verbindet ruhige Alltagsszenen mit Momenten von Tradition, Zugehörigkeit und Aufbruch. Die Serie ist ein Porträt vom Erwachsenwerden auf dem Land.

That's where I created my photo series “d'Jugnd im Innviertel” (Youth in the Innviertel). It shows young people who want to take over their parents' farms and have been working there since childhood. Their future often seems to be already mapped out. At the same time, I portray young people who look beyond the village and may eventually leave to experience something different. The work tells of everyday life between fields and clubs and of how formative and sometimes restrictive life in the countryside can be. Especially for those who do not conform to the majority. I lived in the village myself for four months, took part in club life, and got to know the social structures that give children and young people a sense of stability. Despite many privileges, I repeatedly felt like an outsider. “d'Jugnd im Innviertel” combines quiet everyday scenes with moments of tradition, belonging, and new beginnings. The series is a portrait of growing up in the countryside. <img width="1500" height="2000" width_o="1500" height_o="2000"
