Girl On Slide, Indre 2021
A photo from my photo-series "Riverland", which I started about 2 years ago, while attending a workshop with Vanessa Winship and George Georgiou in the Indre region in France. It's a series depicting various scenes - portraits, stills and landscapes - all taken in and around rivers/waters in the Indre region, and in southern France. With the series, I tried to evoke sentiments and feelings of a meandering river, while noting and drawing parallels to (my) life....

Untitled 04, from THE WORLD AIN'T ENOUGH ...
THE WORLD AIN’T ENOUGH … is about two brothers and living the moment. No staging, no posing. Just pictures from real life. A visual sociology of childhood and life documented in a natural manner. A book with the same title THE WORLD AIN'T ENOUGH ..., which documents the first ten years, was published in 2020 via BUMMBUMMBOOKS, Cologne. It has received critical acclaim (e.g. German Photobook Award, Der Spiegel, Lenscratch, Gomma Grant).

Community Activists, Dorothy, 78 and Harriet, 82 lead historic home tour through Detroit's Riverfront.
Activists Dorothy and Harriet were interviewed for their contributions to Detroit's revival and riverfront. This ongoing project, The Wisest Generation, is a visual narrative of Detroit’s remarkable seniors who include Motown legends, political activists, community organizers, spiritual leaders and business owners. All have lived through the city’s good and bad times with relentless spirit and faith and added to a colorful chapter in Detroit's history.

Swen Bernitz
untitled, from the series "The Photographer's House"
The series shows the new Moholy-Nagy Master House in Dessau in the experimental style of the New Vision, the visual aesthetics of László Moholy-Nagy. Multiple exposures, negative reversal, light-dark patterns and photomontages are used to emphasize light nuances and provide a new view at the architecture of the Bauhaus.

Woman On a Porch
The photographs in this short series are intensely menacing. Not because there is anything particularly menacing about the subjects of the photographs. Quite the opposite. Instead, the menacing quality is created by the viewer. Just look into the eyes of the subjects of these photographs and you'll see it. And the viewer is a stand-in for society, one that manufactures boogeymen to justify policies and practices that fence out, wall out, and do worse to those seen as different.

The Trangas of the Bielsa Carnival
The Trangas are single young men from the Bielsa valley, dressed in the skin and horns of a male goat, a checkered shirt, a saya (skirt), wool socks, abarcas (traditional rawhide shoes) and large esquillas (bells) at their waist. Their faces are painted black with soil and oil and speckled with flour. They carve potatoes to look like grotesque teeth and hold the potato in their mouth as they make their way around the town chasing after the women and children. The beast is symbolic of fertility.

Birthing
Creative endeavors often start with paper. The novelist, playwright, and poet; the musical composer; the draftsman and painter; the architect and sculptor---each begin their creations with a blank sheet of paper.
The aim of my paper series is to celebrate paper in its own right, and to metaphorically portray--through careful positioning--its role in spawning and nurturing creation.

Coal boat with labourers
While visiting Bangladesh, I aslo got to a port on the river, near Dhaka Cities, where workers carryied coal from a cargo ship. They carried the coal in the basket on their heads. Despite their hard work, low paid, they were able to pose me with a smile and good mood.

REGARD, "August 13, 2017"
Through my double self-portraits I have invited my daughter in a mutual collaboration where she participates in telling her side of her story and thus raises a crucial awareness about the life of people with Down syndrome, its complexity and their developing ability.
