Statement

History and experience are not inherited as narrative; they are transmitted as structure.

The work moves across landscapes, archives, and inherited forms — four long-form series forming a constellation around Eschaton, a world under the shadow of its own end. Todtnauberg confronts what grew up with me in the Black Forest: a grandfather, a philosopher, a silence Celan did not break. Unheimlichkeit registers a present saturated with its own disappearance. Resonances listens for what the land keeps without saying.

Each series stands alone. Together, they form a single sustained question: what does Europe carry forward without speaking?
