I’m Mirella von Chrupek. Being a visual artist and photographer, I am particularly drawn to the aesthetic side of tennis. The unique connection of geometry and color electrifies my clay-dusted-heart. Although I am forever hungry for sporting thrills, I do not shy away from forgotten tennis sanctuaries shrouded in the mists of time. I find a special poetry in them, tinged with a touch of nostalgia. In sunshine or rain, I visit courts large and small to document their unique beauty in my own way. These visits encourage reflection, open a space for contemplation, and allow me to organize my thoughts. Each court has its own unique personality. When I photograph, I try to capture its magic and unique atmosphere.
