The other side ist als Gedankenspiel entstanden, was uns auf der "anderen Seite erwartet. Wie gelangen wir dorthin? Wie verhalten wir uns? Wollen wir wirklich wissen was es dort zu sehen gibt. Machen wir einen schritt.

Bogdana on location
I usually take portraits in my homestudio. I like the intimacy, the concentration on puristic portraits in a small room. But from time to time I dabbly myself in shooting on location. During a stay in Berlin I photographed Bogdana in my hotelroom.

The coverage with Maryam
this series talks about the hijab and coverage related issues in Iran. due to last year nationwide protests in Iran, the society started to change in this area. Since then many of the young ladies as the leader of this movement, try to make obvious changes in their daily coverage. considering such situations, I depicted the range of coverage in this series with Maryam who is a literature student (students had an important role in this movement). This collection is divided into two parts so that the audiences can see this diversity and then compare its similarities and differences in their own minds.

Missing You
The actual work in three series shots states "Missing You". We always miss someone in our lives. Maybe something, and although by the word "something" we usually mean objects, we often mean feelings. Still, it's something we don't like about life. The meaning of the series depends on each observer and the time we live in.

Show me your ropes
Ich arbeite eher selten konzeptionell. Hier der Beginn einer Serie zum Thema „Connections“. Dazu bekommt das jeweilige Model eine Auswahl von Seilen und kann ein wenig mit diesen spielen.
Warum Seile? Sie repräsentieren für mich viele mir wichtige zwischenmenschliche Bereiche und Begriffe wie Sicherheit, Verbindung, Enge, Abhängigkeit, Gehalten werden, Berührung, Schmerz, Alleinsein, Verlässlichkeit und einige mehr können in der Interaktion von Menschen und Seilen gesehen werden.
Ich bin mal gespannt wohin das führt. 🙂
I rarely work conceptually. Here is the beginning of a series on the topic of “Connections”. The respective model is given a selection of ropes and can play with them a little.
Why ropes? For me they represent many interpersonal areas and concepts that are important to me such as security, connection, closeness, dependence, being held, touch, pain, being alone, reliability and some more. They all can be seen in the interaction of people and ropes.
I'm excited to see where this leads. 🙂
Are you happy?
"Are you happy?", Laurana asked me some days ago.
It was late and we had discussed about the possibility, the term and the feeling of happiness for us trans women, since hours.
Because we're getting misgendered at least once a day, and we're irritating people with our voice, getting glimpses to the never fading marks of male hood on our bodies and beings. – And we're facing an abstract refusal of our transness in social media and the newspaper. We're seeing violence against us in the community, and we're hearing prejudices regarding us, from people who don't have a glue about anything (A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G), but an opinion towards gender.
And we're hearing permanently, that children need to be protected from queer people, from wokeness, and we see, that society steels children’s their rights everywhere and nobody complains: The right of education and health! The right of getting protected from violence and (sexual) abuse! And in the end, our children’s will inherit a planet, which is becoming more and more a piece of scrap! Yeah. Protect the children from us.
Silence.
Filled with handpans.
Lovely handpan sound, from Giolì & Assia, and I said: "This is how angles talking."
And we listened some more moments to the voices of angles.
"How can I say, that I'm happy?"
What is happiness in a world, were I'm paying attention to the intonation of any word, coming through my lips? I'm paying attention to my language and body gestures, to my (male) personal border protection mechanisms and knowledge of male privileges, within all female routines?
How to think about happiness, in a world where I need to maintain thousands of attributes at once, to reach and keep my limited femineity?
Being a female, and don't lose a second of it. Maybe, this is happiness for me. Accepting my limits, coping with them and being me. Being Sophie. And don't lose a single second of it anymore. That's happiness.
„Yes, Laurana. I'm happy.“
