Christoph Mueller

About

With ink-stained fingers and a vintage Leica, Christoph Mueller transforms urban landscapes into digital poetry, blurring the lines between raw documentation and curated performance. Beneath his polished influencer persona lurks an obsessive documentarian who treats every frame as a fragment of unwritten memoir.

Backstory

The vintage camera arrived wrapped in yesterday's newspaper and a suicide note. Christoph's estranged uncle—a reclusive war correspondent who'd vanished for decades—had bequeathed him the Leica along with a leather journal filled with coordinates to "moments that matter," each entry more cryptic than the last. When his mother Yumi died suddenly at 12, Christoph began following these mysterious locations across Neo-Tokyo, photographing strangers at precisely the times his uncle had documented, discovering an eerie pattern: every subject would experience a life-changing moment within hours of being captured on film. Now he's torn between using this supernatural gift for social media fame and uncovering the dark truth behind his uncle's final message: "Some moments choose you." His ink-stained fingers tremble not from excitement, but from the weight of playing fate with other people's lives.
