New Exhibition in Berlin opening soon!


I'm super excited to announce I will be opening my next solo exhibition "Luminous Horizons" at the NIO House Berlin soon!


The exhibition will be on display on the first upper floor of NIO House Berlin, a premium showroom, event space, and coworking space. It can be visited free of charge during opening hours, Monday to Saturday, from 4th of July to 28th of August 2026.

The exhibition presents the full scope of a night-photography project I’ve been building over the past six years. Using my self-developed experimental long-exposure technique, I work with prisms and light refraction to create colorful light trails and visual effects entirely in-camera during capture, without digital manipulation. 


If you’re in Berlin, I’d love to see you at the vernissage, starting July 4th on 4 PM! 

There will be music and drinks, a short Q&A with me, and a pop-up print sale with signed photographs, photo calendars, and the first edition of the zine for the series.

Some previously unpublished works will be revealed for the first time.


If you arrive or want to stay after 6 PM, please get a free ticket through the NIO app:

I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!


Best,

Max
