Earth is the plane on which we live and die, on which we find hope. The grain is fertilized, grows and dies like man.

WILLKOMMEN, 2021, 3 min 54 sec
In my video Welcome I show the old tradition that exists in many countries where guests are welcomed with bread and salt. Bread and salt are metaphors for the essentials of life (the bread) and for the necessary flavor (the salt). It symbolizes the desire for community, prosperity, protection from evil spirits and is said to give satisfaction and happiness. With this, you wish the guests happiness, sedentariness and peace.
SCHNITTSTELLEN,/INTERFACES 2020, 1 min 24 sec
We meet often in our lives, our paths are fatefully overlapping . After that I am mostly alone in this place, with my feelings, thoughts and ideas. Interfaces are places where our lifes are turning, taking a different direction and are leaving the planned path.
UNFASSBARE ZEIT/Inconceivable time , 2020, 3 min, 17 sec
Inconceivable time - conceivable picture. A moment in the past or a wish for the future - quickly over. Images of places, situations or people appear before the inner eye, becoming interpretations of happy or sad moments without the chance to change them.

Climate change is shifting a lot in our lives.

Nature strikes back. Our Living conditions are getting tougher. How far do the changes go? It depends on us.

it was love at first sight. Yes, I know there are several trees here, but for me it is the one tree that stands on several legs. I want to take this tree with me. Tomorrow, when I wake up in another place, when I look out of my window, I am longing to see my tree, my love again.

Open Dialog, 2018/9, 3min 51 sec, HD, color
Today we live in a dynamically developing world, where often what is considered safe today has no value tomorrow. Spatial distances are quickly overcome with modern means of transport. This leads to encounters between people which were recently unthinkable. Open exchange arises between those People, which is intensely and emotionally led- Relationships are made, but due to different lifelines quickly lost again-people have to go different ways- The separations are painful ...

I cross the bridge over the river in the city of Petrzavodsk as I spend my artist residency. The river fascinates me with its phase rolling and I thought to myself what a wine will look like when it comes out of the big barrel. I give the name of the video in vino veritas, but it is the river of Petrsavodsk that I sow and cross every day for a month

Finally free - Escape from civilization - freed from all constraints. The mountain world, which is so hostile to life in the first place, immediately conveys a feeling of securiand immediately becomes a place of longing for the beholder. The floating ceiling gives the place something mystical, there the little church, spirituality awakens – the so unapproachable place becomes the source of deeper knowledge for those who reach it.

Every perspective is shown as own identity, each of them is occupying the artist completely. They are mutually entering an elevator for being traced back to there very core, combined and interwoven – in a creative process in which the artist is keeping prevalence over every perspective. As a result this very essence is depicted to the viewers, here embodied as the one artist which returns from the elevator .

It once began with a big bang, the creation of the earth and as far as mankind is concerned with the first human Adam. Since then the world is captured in a consistent loop of decomposition and resurrection. Humans are fertile, increased, and made themselves masters of the earth; they are apparently rulers over every thing moving on the earth arent they?
Departure: The trip from East to West. It is always like a stretched rope which is unsecured and you can easily fall and get lost. The rope merges, serves for transport, but it is not secured.
Arrival: I want to present the impact of the political information which simply traps us, limit us. Here are meaningful social-political scenes starting from the past up to today. Politic is everything for us. It is morning, noon, evening, mum, dad.. It is our life's circulation.
Survival: East arrived in the West. Bare footed. Will he loose himself, or has he found his better road? A question to which I personally do not have an answer, what do you think about that?
When we came back home, we have a big wish for freedom. Get rid of all clothes which we are wearing through the day. I like this feeling of freedom. I feel free, I can breathe, and sometimes I feel I can fly. Freedom...... Maybe somebody is observing this freedom from the corner...
I have to use the Metro every day. I was in obsession with this travelling. I took my camera and started with "spin"-shooting. The camera was running near to my body. I did not control the camera, I was just shooting. The first chance to see what I have done was later on at home. ...What are they talking about? Does it concern me? Must I feel threatened.?
I made this project in Istanbul. People at the streets, at the market, in the office, in the kinder garden, tourists repeated the word Istanbul. I asked the people about the city, and suddenly in one bus ignited a discourse between passengers about Istanbul. I shooted a 97 years old lady. She told us about the developing of Istanbul from sultan times to AtatEk and until today.

is a documentary about an asylum seeker from Iraq with Turkish ancestors. The meeting with this man occurred all of a sudden. He invited me on Sarma (my favor food). I always asked myself what are the real impulses to surrender the complete social live, to be prepared to pass all risks in order to come into a "promised country". He explained his life in Iraq, his way and how he came to Germany. But, here is another phenomenon which always exists. Asylum seekers can give up there rules and habits from there origin countries. They are slowly and difficulty adapt to the "new life". They start to dream about there homeland, family and partner from the own country...

I intended to depict the coexistence of worshipers of the two big religions -the Muslims and the Orthodox- who have to life with each other within a limited geographical area - at this bottom. Bajrams and Eastern is celebrated together as well as Ramadan and Christmas. The people with cross and moon should respect each other. They where born on the same soil - but a lot of roads and wars were crossing and unfortunately are still crossing, and currently there is no indication that they will stop crossing in future, on this ground, on this bottom, where turbulence rules, but peace is severely needed. In both religions you will find the command "do not make war", but the religions sym
