Kursk Video online

kursk video screenshot

The image above is a screenshot taken from the video shown at my current exhibition in Frankfurt. It includes some of the images from my original Kursk-Project. You can see it online here.

These images are NOT edited. The look&feel is the result of a broken tv-set combined with file-type changes for the video-format. It was a conscious decision not to correct the colours but to leave them as given.


London

It felt like spring: very … floral!
Speaking of spring: Some ice cream company was celebrating their their 60th birthday by having a slide projection at the riverside … :-)


Gastraum

Some weeks ago I was asked by a friend and cameraman Stephan Boden, if I would like to contribute to a book about the four cooks that founded the experimental restaurant named GASTRAUM in Hamburg, Germany, and their philosophy about food and it’s preparation.

I went to the GASTRAUM’s website and … what should I say? … It looked very “special” indeed … An extremely unconventional website for a group of young cooks, who each went through the toughest and most highly appreciated educations to become what they are now.

I was puzzled about what to make out of it, but after I looked at the videos on the site, it was easy to understand. And I could not say no to Steven’s question! In fact I was extremely glad to be able to take part in this crusade by helping out with some pictures. It just seems to make a lot of sense.


Road Trip

This one goes to David Alan Harvey … and everyone involved in his “road trip”.

What I am actually dedicating, is a video I made on my road trip to Scotland in December 2007, and not this single picture. Unfortunately the 1 hour video seems to be hopelessly stuck on my SD-chip. I can watch (and hear) it on my EPSON P5000 but I cannot copy it anywhere else. An amusing thought: Maybe the video will have to travel along with me and my storage unit for as long as later one exists, and will then just die with it … “Road trip” indeed.
