That’s how I come across the place where I shot these mermaids. On a friend’s attic, by chance, we found access to a rooftop, we played around with a window, and I loved the results. Afterwards I’ve been able to set up a little ritual for this photo-serie. Getting into the building (bypassing, clearly, because I memorized the door code), climbing up discreetly the old wooden attic stair, opening the panel door, getting on the rooftop, setting myself down in the attic… And taking pictures, hoping no neighbours would notice what was going on.
It did felt like I was on a boat, or a submarine, and these pod of magical aquatic creatures were hanging around on the other side of the window, one by one, curious, wanting to get in, or to lure us away into their ethereal kingdom. It felt like we were both stuck in our own silent worlds, cause we couldn’t hear each other. Not the easiest to give directions, therefore these pictures were a sum of happy accidents and semi-directed shots. I wanted them to be focused on hair and hands, a constant obsession through my works, and a good symbol for mermaids. I’ve been lucky to convince so many friends and models to climb up the roof for this editorial."

As a practicing physician specializing in neurology, immunology, and holistic medicine, Prof. Dr. med. Urs Pohlman, the founder and developer of Anane premium natural Skincare, advocates for an integrative healing approach. He emphasizes the importance of the skin in this method, as it uniquely reveals energetic imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and hidden illnesses.
Dr. Pohlman has observed a rise in skin issues that traditional clinical diagnoses do not address. There is an increasing prevalence of weakened immune systems, bacterial, and fungal infections. Often, these conditions are side effects of using inappropriate cosmetics, which can disturb the skin's balance and cause irritation.
In contrast to conventional cosmetics, the medical perspective on aging involves understanding the balance between daily energy expenditure and the rest required for rejuvenation. "Anti-aging" is about enhancing the body's natural regenerative abilities to ensure optimal functioning.
Through years of patient interaction and extensive research at the University Hospital Basel and Duke University Medical Center, Dr. Pohlman acquired interdisciplinary knowledge about the body's complex regeneration processes. He utilized this expertise to create highly effective formulations.
His company, ananné, is dedicated to the responsible use of resources, ethical treatment of employees, and fair trade practices. Dr. Pohlman and his team are committed to making a positive impact on the world.
"We strive to optimize our processes," he explains. "Whether it’s through energy-efficient practices, recyclable packaging, or sourcing fair trade products, we aim to reduce our ecological footprint and conserve energy for everyone involved. I find joy in problem-solving as both a doctor and entrepreneur."
