This project is about the vivid Jewish communities in Germany today. I want to show what Jewish life is like in Germany now. My aim is to make this vivid life visible again.
After all, this project shows that 75 years after murder and extermination, Jewish communities feel at home in Germany again.
I have owned my Leica II for nearly 30 years. During my first journey to Croatia during the Civil War in former Yugoslavia, my Austrian aunt gave me the camera as a gift. Her husband bought it in 1932. But after his death the Leica had lain idle in a cupboard for several years until she gave it to me. I have used this camera a couple of times but I never really worked with it, I just enjoyed its mechanics.

Making the invisible visible is one of my principles as a photographer. I tell stories about people, their lives and their problems with quiet tones. As a trained journalist, I often mix reportage work and artistic photography.
In my work, I look behind the façade and address social, ecological and psychological issues. I make images with a strong aesthetic appeal, which also convey a message that encourages reflection and promotes social awareness.
Every photo tells a story, be it about diversity, equality, sustainability or other issues that I support passionately. My photos are meant to encourage people to think outside the box, challenge preconceptions and create a world where aesthetics and social awareness go hand in hand.
