The TOMIKO Archive is an art project in the form of a photographic archive. I began with the collection around 2001 and with its integration into an archive around 2006. The archive consists exclusively of found family/amateur photographs, mainly from the 20th century and mostly from Germany. So far, the collection comprises over 500,000 photographs, which I digitize and tag with keywords piece by piece. Up to now, around 7,000 pictures have been inventoried.

It now has its own platform:
