Collaborations / Commissions
Aldeas
Ongoing collaboration spearheaded by choreographer Masha Gurina and a fabulous core team of talented dancers, graphic designers, musicians. “Aldeas means ‘Cities,’ or ‘Villages,' in Spanish. The new work explores my favourite subject: the process of transformation which happens to us, 'global citizens' - as we leave our families, home towns, move to different places, absorb new influences, become part of new communities, develop new identities and become 'something else' - and in that, also become our new true selves.” Photographs provide a backdrop to the contemporary dance piece.
Next Stop Patterns
A collaborative project with pattern designer Kristy Kropat about the Berlin transit system. What blends into the background of everyday is actually a complex and beautifully-constructed historical metro system with colors, shapes, and intent behind each station. The photographs complement and illustrate the story behind each pattern in the series.
Prisms
Documentary collaboration with Susann Tischendorf. A multi-visual series featuring 16 individuals around the world. Each chapter includes interviews, documents, archival material and documentary photos bringing each subject’s personal story to life on identity, migration, and belonging in a globalised world. www.14prisms.com
