One of them?



"I tell you why you're here. You are here because you know something, that you can not explain. But you feel that something is wrong with the world. You don´t know what, but it's there. Like a splinter in your mind that drives you mad." (Morpheus from "The Matrix").
With this feeling you are reborn in the skin of a human being.
We send you to earth. Now go on, discover the world!

watch...how the wind moves the grains in the field and the garbage in the streets
listen...to the bees in a bush and the neverending noise of the city
smell...freshly washed clothes and the disgust of a boiling summerday in the city
taste...the metallic of blood and the sweetness of grapes
feel...your first painful sunburn of the season and a true hug from a friend

Collect and document all those human experience and report it!
But be aware, life can be addictive -
once you have fallen into love, there is no way back...

Historias de bicicletas - todos los cuentos de nuevo

"Bike Stories: All-New Tales", I revived bikes which got mugged. Left behind injured and vulnerable, these bikes have a right to speak out loud. I got the idea when I saw my own bike sadly leaning against a tree, weak and fragile without a front wheel, telling me about his suffering.

The truth of Hänsel & Gretel



I am fascinated by the unreal world of fairy tales, playing around with their characters, modifying them and hence putting them into a different role. Our childhood is coined by fairy tales and intensive dreams. My installation combines both by mixing fairytales, dreams and reality. What if the fairy tale of Hänsel&Gretel is just a dream and in real life they are experimenting in their sleep laboratory for dreams? At the attempt to discover the perfect dream consistency the overdosed and hence killed the witch.

Come with me to the gloomy forest....
behind the gnarly oak tree...
find the sinister sleep laboratory of Hänsel&Gretel
madly obsessed with the perfect consistency for fairytale dreams...
You old hag, you´re a bitch!
Eats small children just for pastime. We´ll set you a trap then you´re due.
That is the punishment for roasting children!
VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT OVERDOSE!

Bike stories - all new tales

In "Bike Stories: All-New Tales", I revived bikes which got mugged. Left behind injured and vulnerable, these bikes have a right to speak out loud. I got the idea when I saw my own bike sadly leaning against a tree, weak and fragile without a front wheel, telling me about his suffering. This piece was exhibited in Untitled BCN Gallery, Barcelona.

Sozialstudie des Innenlebens eines Wiesnzeltes (Social study Of The Microcosm Of An Oktoberfest Tent)


In this project I am exploring the different kind of people which visit an Octoberfest tent. Basically the world largest folk festival is very much a traditional event where old and young, businessmen and housewives, upper and middleclass people meet. In short it is an excellent profile of the population, a specific microcosm which applies onto the outside world in big scale.
