Photo . Egyptian Women

February 2015 . Cairo

Ongoing work about egyptian women: by flying back to Egypt, i made portraits of egyptian women combined with interviews and a reportage.

Lot of people in Egypt is fighting 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, age and their socioeconomic situation, in light of the question: what does it mean to be a woman in Egypt today?

Therefor I received the support of the german foundation VG Bild-Kunst, as well as the scholarship Grenzgänger from the Literarisches Colloqium Berlin and the Robert Bosch Foundation.

Back in the GDR . On assignment

January 2015 . Berlin

I was happy to travel in the GDR I've never knew. In last november and december I was assigned from Zeit Online to make a pictures series during the film making of the german TV series "Weissensee", directed by Friedemann Fromm, about the time around the historic Fall of the berliner Wall. Set production director Frank Godt won already several prices for the decor reconstitution of the GDR coulisses

My work was to produce pictures which give the viewer the first impression to be in the GDR again, and after a second look, to discover a detail which makes understand, that the pictures are made today...

Zeit Online shows now my pictures series on:

Exhibition . Stalin Allee vs Karl-Marx Allee

December 2014 . January 2015 . Berlin

In the series “Stalinallee vs. Karl-Marx Allee” I present street photography in Berlin: old people, young parents and partygoers surrounded by the monumental architectural landscape of the 4.5 km boulevard that was once created as one of the GDR’s flagship building projects. Zeit Online gave me free rein to the series and presented the pictures in the form of a multimedia production

You can see the complete series here :-)

Now Christian Reister presents some of the pictures in his exhibition place FENSTER61 ("WINDOW61"). Thank you!

Photo . Egyptian Women

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.

Book . Just like a Woman

April 2014 . The publishing house Nimbus, Kunst und Bücher is releasing a catalogue of my pictures from the exhibition "Just like a woman" (see below).
In this regard I would like to give many thanks again to Franziska Schmidt, who wrote all the texts and especially to Bernhard Echte, the publisher and editor of the catalogue. I never thought it would be able to make such a work in such a short time - most notably, that actually it is rather a book than a catalogue including more pictures than shown in the exhibition!
Kindly supported by the Bureau des arts platiques of French Institut Berlin and french Ministery for Culture and Communication.
