The project and book Neun Neunundneunzig (Nine Ninety-Nine) adresses to the flood of pictures we are confronted with, in today's modern life. Furthermore it deals with the source of this flood, which has its origins in the habit of photographing daily life, often taken with smartphones. The project aimed to investigate these aspects along with their recurring patterns, for which a daily series of nine pictures was accumulated over the course of a year. The book shows a selection of 99 series. The interaction between (i)Phoneography and modern photo-book design breaks the digital cycle of these images and invites the viewer to take a closer look at the actual quality of the smartphone-created photographs, beyond regard for retro filters and other gimmicks. Neun Neunundneunzig was awarded with a Bronze Nagel by Art Directors Club Germany and was part of the exhibition "The Smart View" at "The Triennial of Photography Hamburg" in 2015.
