What A ChristMess!!

Christmas time – supposed to be a wonderful contemplative time – turns into the most stressful part of the year for many people. 
What a ChristMess!!
Are you hosting a Christmas-party this year? I would like to supply a little "survival kit" for all my friends, followers and fans. 
No matter if you celebrate during the hot-steamy summer or crispy-cold winter – just choose the kit which is suitable for your festivities depending where you and your beloved are based. 

The packs include a shopping list to get organized, a menu, double sided wrap paper, name tags for your presents, greeting cards 
and a banderole if you want to give away some wine. Folks, relax, for gods sake, it's Christmas! Enjoy yourself! Have fun! 
I wish you a fancy time and love ... lots of love. Warm regards, Sarah

Artwork inspired by a quotation of the sailor, captain and author 
Józef Teodor Nałęcz Konrad Korzeniowski better known as Joseph Conrad.
»Let them think what they liked, but I didn't mean to drown myself. 
I meant to swim till I sank – but that's not the same thing.«
.
»Sollten Sie doch denken, was Sie wollten.
Ich hatte nicht die Absicht mich umzubringen. 
Ich hatte die Absicht, so lange zu schwimmen, bis ich unterging. 
Aber das war nicht dasselbe.«


{Joseph Conrad. 1857 – 1924}

What is the worst catastrophe in your life?


free art projekt | photography: New Zealand, 2007 | abstract

I spent 6 months in New Zealand. Although I worked in an advertising agency I had enough time to explore this wonderful country. During this time I met a lot of people. Almost 100 of them helped me realize this project. I took photos of them and after that I asked them about the worst catastrophe in their life. It´s not easy to answer this question … but to ask for the worst situation in somebodys life isn´t either.
The result of the collection of disasters and bad experiences is that everything happens for a reason and that every down in a human life is followed by an up. In summary, it´s fair to say that you obviously cannot look inside a person and it´s hard to meet each other without prejudices. With this project I got a lot of answers I didn´t expect and I learnt a lot from these people even about myself. 
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED ME TO REALISE THIS VERY PERSONAL PROJECT. (In this abstract: Steve, Christine, Michael, Fiona, Gavin, Frances, Climaxx & Brian.)

Exhibitionism – a societal phenomenon

Exhibitionism – a societal phenomenom
Exhibitionism always is an ongoing issue. Unfortunately not everyone is aware of it. In society exhibitionism 
is often tabooed and suppressed, the topic is dismissed as unimportant and generally gets only little attention. 
Exhibitionism is no trivial offence. Especially children often cannot cope with this sexual assault and do not 
understand what is happening. My aim is to draw attention to this issue and to sensitize society to it. 
The development, comprehension and prevention of this kind of sexualized violence are in the focus. Reports and 
interviews as well as hard facts on this topic shall give an overview of exhibitionism, so that everyone can make 
their own maybe even a new picture of it.

Exhibitionismus – ein gesellschaftliches Phänomen
Exhibitionismus ist ein Thema, das immer aktuell ist. Nur ist es nicht jedem bewusst. Exhibitionismus 
wird in der Gesellschaft gerne tabuisiert und verdrängt, das Thema wird als unwichtig abgetan und 
findet im Allgemeinen kaum Beachtung. Exhibitionismus ist kein Kavaliersdelikt. Besonders Kinder können 
mit diesem sexuellen Übergriff oftmals nicht umgehen und verstehen nicht, was passiert.
Ziel ist es, die Gesellschaft auf das Thema aufmerksam zu machen und zu sensibilisieren. Entstehung, 
Verständnis und Prävention dieser Art der sexualisierten Gewalt steht im Vordergrund. Fakten und nackte 
Tatsachen, Berichte und Interviews sollen einen Überblick über das Thema Exhibitionismus verschaffen, 
damit sich jeder ein eigenes, vielleicht neues Bild über Exhibitionismus machen kann.
