Stattlab

The community studio I've been part of since 2024. This is where I develop and experiment with analog photography alongside talented photographers, screenprinters, and other artists in Berlin. It's not just a darkroom, it's a shared space where different practices overlap and people learn from each other's processes.

I worked as a lab helper for a few months, maintaining chemicals, managing the space, learning the technical side of darkroom work beyond just shooting. Been part of an organized collaborative exhibition, which showed me how analog practices function collectively, not just individually.
