FotoRoom picked up my recent Project »Mukhiani« and asked me a couple of interesting questions, regarding the development of the project. Head over to their website to read the Interview (It took me forever to answer these questions -.-).

I was more than happy that Ain't Bad Magazine picked up my recent work »Mukhiani« to show on their website. Check it out here.
Old new Project »Mukhiani"
It has been a while since I updated my Works page with a new project. I worked on this project, »Mukhiani « while I was in Georgia for the Kolga Tbilisi Foto Festival in 2015 where I was nominated. It was a ton of fun to reconnect with some people I met here on my very first trip to Georgia. Again, it gave me wonderful memories of generous people in the neighborhood of Mukhiani … and I drank the heaviest Chacha of Georgia. But please look for yourself:
Exhibition @ Fairfitters

Exhibition @ »BaFo 16« Alte Museum Ostwall
A couple weeks back I was happy to exhibit with 20 other fellow Bachelor Students at the Alte Museum Ostwall in Dortmund for the »BaFo 16« exhibition. Everyone was exhibiting their Bachelor Project made at the Fachhochschule Dortmund in the past year. A fantastic variety of photograpic work! Especially the Vernissage opening was a great time. Again I made a Live video to stream on Facebook for everyone to see with a full run-throu of the exhibition space.

Exhibition @ Fern:Sicht 7
It has been already a while since our Bachelor Exhibition at the Alte Pfandhaus in Cologne.
Here now some pictures of my picture assembly. The Exhibtion opening was such a great succsess that we added an additional Finnisage at the last day of the Exhibition to give intrested people a little behind the scenes of our projects. So we heard some great talks about some very intresting topics/projects.
I even made a Live Broadcast on Facebook of the Opening Event.

Fern:Sicht Bachelor Exhibition on the 08.04.16 in Cologne
Fern:Sicht are 7 Photographers from Germany who came together to exhibit their Bachelors Project on the 08.04.16 in Cologne, Germany.
Here is the Webiste and the Facebook Event.
Der Alltag amerikanischer Ureinwohner im Reservat, Stalinanhänger in Georgien oder das Porträt einer ostwestfälischen Dorfstruktur. Diese und andere Geschichten präsentieren sieben Fotografiestudenten der FH Dortmund in ihrer Absolventen-Ausstellung FERN:SICHT ab dem 08.04.2016 im Alten Pfandhaus, Köln.
Es sind Geschichten über Menschen, die verschiedener kaum sein könnten. In fotografischen Essays und Porträts widmen sich die Fotografen nicht nur dem Blick in die Ferne, sondern werfen auch einen Blick auf das Leben vor unserer Tür. FERN:SICHT zeigt die historische Spurensuche, die Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Herkunft, dem Leben und Menschsein und experimentiert mit Formen zeitgenössischer Fotografie sowohl analog als auch digital.
Die sieben Künstler sind Fotografiestudenten der FH Dortmund unter der Betreuung von Prof. Dirk Gebhardt. Neben mehrfachen internationalen und nationalen Publikationen u.a. im Spiegel, New Yorker, CNN haben die Studenten bereits diverse Preise gewonnen.
Gezeigt werden Arbeiten von:
- Benedikt Ziegler
- Felix von der Osten
- Jasper Bastian
- Jan Düfelsiek
- Jann Höfer
- Martin Lamberty
- Sebastian Hopp

GOMMA PHOTOGRAPHY GRANT 2015. SHORTLISTED PHOTOGRAPHERS.
The Jury has completed the first voting stage and 25 photographers have been shortlisted. The first, second and third place winner will be announced this Friday, 15th January 2016. http://www.gommamag.com/grant/
We would like to point out the fact that the quality of the work submitted was outstanding and it has been a very hard task selecting these 25 shortlisted photographers. There were many other photographers that we would have liked to include within the shortlisted, but we had to narrow it down to just 25.
