About me
Brigitte Zamzow
Brigitte - perhaps you know her as Biggi Zee - has spent her life learning. She has traveled, studied, photographed, formed friendships, embraced discomfort, celebrated successes and encountered envy.
Along the way, she found the urban: a place where spaces and people meet, where conflicts arise and where something new is constantly taking shape.
So she documents. Now. In writing - academically, poetically, perhaps sometimes obsessively - and in photographs. Above all, she documents changes in the spaces she encounters while wandering endlessly: at home, abroad and everywhere in between.
Come in. Welcome. Look around. Get to know her; you may even judge her if you wish. But be warned: she will always. Keep. Going.
