[MauerExpedition]
2008 (in production)


What is life like where the wall used to be? Almost 20 years ago a wall surrounded West-Berlin, 160 kilometers long. The wall is gone, what remains is a bike-path. Together with a group of people I went on a 6-day-expedition to find memories of people of the wall.

[1000Stories]
2007 (in production)


What is life like in the United States of America? I traveled through the US on a BMW-motorbike and put new stories on a weblog every day from Oct 1 to Nov 15, 2007. American Film-maker Mark Simon explored Germany at the same time and published his stories to the same Blog. I will use the material I collected for building a Korsakow-installation and hopefully a Korsakow-film as well.

[Vergessene Fahnen] / [Forgotten Flags]
2007 (DVD-Rom, website, installation)


What is life like in Germany? A sea of black, red and gold. The 2006 Soccer World Cup changed the way Germans perceived their own country. What is left over half a year later? Juliane Henrich and I traveled 2562 km all over Germany to talk to people that still have a German flag outside their houses. We met astonishing people with all kinds of different German accents (subtitles in English). Presented by the Goethe-Instititute as part of the project "Odysseus: A Quest for Europe".

Recently I figured out how the world works. It is very simple:
The world is a cloud - Die Welt ist eine Wolke





My friend Tobias Hülswitt on nonlinearity:

"The era of plot and story has long passed. You can feel it in every book, in every play, you can even feel it in the movies. Plot and story cause panic by speeding up the course of time, by presenting causalities and conflicts that do not exist. Dramatic composition and rising actions are metaphysics. They manifest the belief in beings outside our space and time, Beings that determine our fate. Plot and story provide a classification system that hardly differs from the classification systems of religious schools of thought."
