From 2014–2022 I was part of Yhy Fihm (You Have Your Family I Have Mine), an independent art collective which has its core in Vienna, Austria, but spanned the work of artists living and creating all around the world. Each publication had one topic that had been previously chosen by the collective. The last issue had the theme of Familylikeness. Participating artists were: Photographers Katharina Poblotzki, Susanna Hofer, Chloé Thomas, Paul Pibernig, Peter Jaunig and the Austrian writer Margit Mössmer.

The nice thing about being part of an artist collective is not only working with people with whom you share the same views, but also the fact that you dare to do things that you might not dare alone. You feel more confident in a group somehow. Also, through the discourse with others, thoughts and ideas arise that you just wouldn’t get on your own. Besides all that it’s just fun. Intense but fun!

From simple black and white digital printing to screen printing to professional offset, we used all possible printing techniques to produce our publications. In order to save costs or to give a certain individual touch to some special editions, publications were usually adjusted manually. We took part in various photo book festivals from Vienna, Berlin, Lisbon to London. Copies could be found in selected book stores around the world: Printed Matter/NYC, Walter König/Vienna, Yvon Lambert/Paris, Print Matters/Zurich, MACBA/Barcelona.
