The two young men shown on the photo are members of a Hungarian hip-hop group. They started playing music in a small Hungarian village and now perform throughout the country. They are now widely acclaimed and famous within the country. Their perseverance through the struggle to develop their music and succeed in the music business has opened up a new world for them. The two young men and the train passing by behind them symbolise the fast passing of their youth.

This image examines ideas of European Identity both past and present, while looking towards the future. It is taken from my series 'Sonnets' which is inspired by 19th century painting, however uses modern photography techniques to create the image.

The search for a new world is a tough road. Some try to find it as a group, helping eachother, being supportive...
The setting of this photo is Salt Lake in Turkey. It is a natural marvel but it is drying day by day because of the global warming. This photo aims to draw attention to the natural beauties of the world which we may lose in near future.

I imagine a world a new world where everyone is able to read and write

Eichen gibt es in Mecklenburg. Die meisten stehen unter Naturschutz. Das soll so bleiben!

People say that the ‘world is getting smaller and smaller’ because of globalisation and free movement of people from one side of the world to the other. Therefore, I decided to fit the ‘globe’ in an egg, by cropping the globe from one photo to be superimposed on the photo showing the egg shell, using a photo editing software.
Apart from this, the world is always renewing itself because of the never ending and inevitable cycle of ‘generating’ people.
The egg symbolises something that shows life, happiness and curiosity. Just like children are curious and want to know what gifts they have received in an Easter egg, people should be enthusiastic and appreciate nature and biodiversity around the world. The egg in the photo appears to be glowing so that it shows that it will be a better world.

„In Wirklichkeit ist jeder [Betrachter], wenn er [betrachtet] ein [Betrachter] nur seiner selbst. Das Werk des [Ku¨nstlers] ist dabei lediglich eine Art von optischem Instrument, das der [Ku¨nstler] dem [Betrachter] reicht, damit er erkennen möge, was er in sich selbst vielleicht sonst nicht hätte erschauen können. Dass der [Betrachter] das, was das [Bild] aussagt, in sich selber erkennt, ist der Beweis fu¨r die Wahrheit eben dieses [Bildes] und umgekehrt.“ Marcel Proust, Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit 7: Die wiedergefundene Zeit

The future plays with the past. The past still remembers, and the past already knows. This photo is made in Belarus. In this room working builders changed clothes

This is a portrait of a Putzfrau, or cleaning lady.
The history of Germany is sordid and difficult. My work explores portraits of Germans and Ausländers (foreigners), German landscapes and objects from the past or present (relating to the past). The intention of the work is to grab you and make you confront the person, landscape, or object. Humans have a problem dealing with the past. If you don't, or can't, deal with the past, you can never have a future. This is a Whole Plate (6.5" x 8.5") Black Glass Ambrotype Wet Plate Collodion photograph.

The model Teodóra is thinking about the new world

Pictures in this series reflect a searching for our new outer as well as inner world.

...and we start having fun with each other.

Seeking out ordinary people engaged in diverse pastimes, I aim to show a populace with a profound attachment to its' local environments and homeland. To access these abstractions, I’ve produced a series of colour tableaux photographs, which record places where groups of people congregate for a common purpose and shared experience. Since landscape has long been used as a commodity to be consumed, I focus on leisure activities as a way of looking at England’s shifting cultural and aesthetic identity. My photographic approach is inspired by the history of English Romantic art and the prevailing view of the country as picturesque. The photographs are rooted in a consciousness of my own attachment to my homeland and are an intentionally lyrical rendering of pastoral landscapes. As Europeans we need to gain a greater sense of attachment to our natural environments and consider how we preserve these landscapes for future generations.

Tin Zawatine ist ein kleiner Grenzort in der Wüste zwischen Mali und Algerien. Hierher deportiert die algerische Polizei die Menschen, die in Europa nicht willkommen sind. Alle ein bis zwei Wochen kommen 5 bis 6 überfüllte, vergitterte Lastwagen. Für viele, die sich die Weiterreise nicht leisten können, bedeutet Tin Zawatine die vorläufige Endstation. Manchmal nur für ein paar Wochen, andere bleiben Monate oder gar Jahre. Eine EU-Politik, die der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention und der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention Hohn spricht, trägt sicherlich nicht dazu bei, eine neue Welt zu schaffen. Eine Politik, die durch immer schärfere Abwehrmaßnahmen potentielle Asylsuchende daran hindert, einen Asylantrag stellen zu können und welche die Menschen, ohne ihnen die Prüfung der Schutzbedürftigkeit zu gewähren, durch Rückführungsabkommen in Staaten abschiebt, in denen sie vor schwerwiegenden Menschenrechtsverletzungen nicht geschützt sind, verschärft vielmehr die ohnehin prekäre Situation derer, die in der Hoffnung auf eine neue, eine bessere Welt nach Europa wollen.

The purpose with this picture was to show how couples also may live in this future utopia. How can their love be created when they don't know each others, know their gender bakground or how they look like?

Ich habe mir nicht überlegt, was es in der neuen Welt meiner Meinung nach geben sollte, sondern vielmehr was es nicht mehr geben sollte. Die Gedanken mögen naiv sein, aber sie sind wünschenswert. Das Bild symbolisiert Rassismus und Ausgrenzung.

To choose what you want, what I want, what we want in our life...with a puff...

My new world is vivid and filled with colors. In the summer time, the colors take lead. You can almost feel the warmth by looking at all those colors. But beware, the dark edges - representing the old world - are trying to take over. Don't let them!

Chamber 7 belongs to a series of small, concentrated and isolated chambers interpretated as a kind of unfirm communication- or perception-paradigm.

In the five Star Hotel Complex "Titanic Ressort Hotel" in Antalya, Turkey in the afternoon employees of the hotel spray Insectizides to kill all mosquitos, so that the guests can spend a comfortable time after dinner outside.

This picture is from the project "Fake Holidays".

When wishes are out of reach, simulation is taking over our leisure time and our holidays. Imaginary worlds are created, often under massive technological exertion, in order to offer us experience as reproducible merchandise. Although the quality of these adventures on demand sometimes proves to be rather dubious, the boom does shed light on one thing: the yearnings and dreams underlying people’s daily lives.

This photo is inspired by John Lennon`s song "Imagine".
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
This photo was taken in Zagreb, Croatia

We all know situations in which we feel lost. But in spite of admitting our sorrows by confronting the reality, we play a role that the society tries to force us in like being the perfect housewife or the hard working farmer that never gets tired of his responsibilities.
But in reality we are longing for a way out, away from our duties, fears and problems. But there is no time, money, freedom or courage to take time out to regain new energy. Gateway to innocence transforms day to day objects into boats and invites us to an imaginary journey back to our childhood into a world filled with innocence and free of pain; a world that is true to itself, simple and natural, where dreaming is allowed without clauses and etiquettes. My pictures don’t search for solutions to our problems but show a possibility to handle them

Eine von 8 Postakarten aus der Serie "Die Macht der Bilder". Mit diesen Postkarten soll die Kraft von Bildern aufgezeigt werden. Eine Kraft die dem Betrachter deutlich machen soll, dass Phantasie nicht nur elitären Kunstschaffenden vorbehalten ist, sondern in jedem Menschen inne wohnt. Phantasie ist Kreativität, diese zu fördern ist mein Anliegen. Durch das alltäglichere Format Postkarte, soll dem Betrachter die Scheu genommen werden, sich mit einem Kunstwerk auseinanderzusetzen. Und wer in den Möbelpackern das Brandenburger Tor erkennt, hat kreativ phantasiert.
