Who is Sita Seebach?
With a curious eye and a keen sense for detail, Sita explores places that have long since slipped away from everyday life. Abandoned buildings, silent rooms, crumbling facades – she sees them not as ruins, but as living archives of time.
Her interest in photography was sparked early: she received her first pocket camera at the age of ten. Since 2005, she has worked exclusively digitally. The fascination with discovering things that others don't immediately notice remains the core of her work. This trained eye for small details also accompanies her professionally – since 2003, she has been successfully working as a freelance media designer and graphic artist in Hanover.
Her photography is characterized by honesty and a keen, creative eye for the hidden. Reflections, patterns, textures, and the subtle interplay of light become central elements of her visual language. She deliberately turns around, views places from unusual perspectives, and discovers beauty where others see only transience.
For her, lost places are not mere backdrops, but spaces for experience. Every place holds surprises, excitement, and an almost childlike curiosity in the moment of discovery. Her work captures the quiet poetry of decay – the traces of nature reclaiming spaces, the patina of time that tells stories without words.
This results in photographs that do not document, but transform: they show the aesthetics of decay as an expression of change, memory and quiet beauty.
