Genius Loci deals with two important industrial areas in Germany and Russia. Yekaterinburg and Perm were founded by the native of Siegen, Georg Wilhelm Henning. Georg Wilhelm de Gennin, October 11th 1676 till April 12th 1750, was a German born officer and artificer, who was invited from Peter the Great to Russia. In 2013 I followed the traces of Henning and photographed enterprises in Germany and Russia to show their similarity, namely the processing of steel and metal. As result is a series about the industrial architecture in German Siegerland and Russian Urals.
