[Planet Galata]
2010 (Korsakow-films & linear film)
What is life like on Planet Galata? The Galata Bridge is a very special bridge at the heart of Istanbul. The bridge has a belly and can open it's mouth.
Together with turkish documetary filmmaker Berke Bas I examined the bridge for period of two months. In the end a Korsakow-film and my first linear film (edited by Gunther Kreis) came into being. The linear film was screened on ARTE TV late one night in autumn 2010.

2007 (website | 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.

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".
