Postcommunism in autumn colors
or Reshaping heritage

The fat cat leads us into the story and, if you've read Bulgakov, you know that this can get unpleasant.
The photo series is about communist architecture in Romania - it is part of the heritage. Some ignore it (buildings will fall apart by themselves if you wait long enough...it's good Romanian philosophy), some renovate it and try to give it a more human, or at least less monstrous look. Sometimes the renovated buildings get a violent, headache-provoking color. I don't know why, maybe there was just too much grey before.

Easter Fire

A pre-Christian Saxon tradition at its origin, the Easter Fire is still lit in many parts of Northwestern Europe. The easter candles are carried from the church on Holy Saturday outside the village where the Easter Fire is lit. It is supposed to chase winter and darkness away, celebrate the coming of spring and ensure fertility.

On this occasion the whole community gathers and some spend the whole night by the fire. Sometimes incidents happen too. This year in an Austrian village, in Lutzmannsburg a young man, after consuming a large quantity of alcohol, fell into the fire and was severely burned.

A very personal photo project:

3 WOMEN : my grandmother, my mother & I

This is an ongoing photography project I have started the last time I've visited my family in Romania.

This series is telling the story of my very short (unfortunately only 2 day-) visit...and also the story of three women.

and saying good bye

PHOTOGRAPHY: HERE. NOW. AWARE.
There is no wish to be somewhere else, in some other time. This moment is all there is. Being fully in the present.

Then try this in your everyday life. Without a camera.
