Mai 2014 . Cairo

I'm working on my new project Gamda: by flying to Egypt a second time this year, i made portraits of egyptian women combined with interviews and a reportage.

Egypt is going through a severe political crisis during the last months and lot of people is fighting for demand of equality and against the violation of human rights and especially women's rights. By my work, I want to approach egyptian women from different social environments, whose position in the society is depending on religion, education and the socioeconomic situation, in light of the question: what does it mean to be a woman in Egypt today? Therefor the german foundation VG Bild Kunst supports me with a scholarship.
To be continued...

A Gamda in arabic is a good and strong woman, both physical and mental.

I'm pleased to invite you to the opening of my new exhibition "Just like a woman" about New York City on
april the 10th, 7pm

The artist Rachel Kohn from Frauenmuseum recommended me to Barbara Esch Marowski from Haus am Kleistpark. Lots of thanks to both of them! I am pleased and very grateful that expert in photography and great friend Franziska Schmidt from the auctions house Villa Grisebach is going to deliver the opening speech. She helped me so much by curating and selecting the pictures.

February 2014 . Winter Promenade in West Berlin
The Teufelsberg, german for Devil's Mountain, is one of the rare hills in the city and is named after the lake Teufelssee nearby. It is built out of nothing but debris and rubble from World War II. During the Cold War US-NSA built a large listening station on top of the hill, which has been abandoned after German reunification. The place turned to an underground location for lots of parties in the late 90's and is now nearly completly fallen into ruins.
