Through scientific practice in physical chemistry labs - using laser light and cameras as a tool to investigate the world of atoms and electrons, Philipp developed a passion for using light creatively. His experience in the optics lab eventually translated into photo- and videography: capturing light to create visual images, trying to investigate different aspects of our world. It became a way to tell stories that could never be told in academic research, engaging more with the heart and soul instead of the brain. He is striving to tell the stories that float beneath our collective attention.
