A handmade, multisensory art zine chronicling my first year living, dissolving, and rebuilding in the orbit of Berlin.
Berlin Orbit One traces a full year in the city through a slow, analog process, not measured in calendar months, but in twelve inner phases aligned with shifting energies, seasons, and states of being.
It reflects on arrival, fracture, care, loss, grounding, and renewal, told through film photography and written fragments.
While Berlin Orbit One also exists as an expanded body of work including sound, video, and digital pieces, this zine focuses purely on the physical: photographs and texts, held together in paper, ink, and touch.
Story & Creation
All photographs in the zine were shot on analog film in Berlin between October 2024 and October 2025 in subway stations, quiet streets, moments of transition, and light returning.
The texts were written during the closing of the cycle, emerging through spoken rituals, silence, and reflection.
The zine is printed and assembled in Berlin, using a mix of riso printing, recycled paper, and transparent sheets.
Text and image are layered so that poems can be read through photographs, over them, or on their own — allowing light, paper, and ink to shift the reading experience with each page turn.
This is not a mass-produced publication, but a tactile object shaped by process, chance, and human hands.

A time capsule.
A physical artifact from a year of transition.
Something to hold, open, and return to — slowly.
