As a sequel to the popular Drama-Grill-Motive, I am currently working on a series of images with the working title "URBAN SNACK". Takeaway-shacks and their surroundings are a world by itself, in which the fascination lies somewhere between domestic comfort and backyards, between communication and ketchup. I have started the implementation using analogue black and white material...

Based on the lighted menus of fast food shacks some images within this photo series are presented as luminous objects.

During one of my wanderings around Cologne I found by chance a peculiar fast food shack in a parking garage. No idea why the red shack is right at the entrance - but the smell from the deep fryer will certainly not disturb anyone. Visually, the shack is like a haven in the gray, and the light inside seems much warmer than the factual neon lights around it. Here a “currywurst” is a genuinely honest thing!
