From the press release: I am taking part in the #machdeinkreuz campaign because I want to use my picture to give others the opportunity to take a stand for a life of solidarity. I find the campaign relevant because it encourages people to exercise their right to vote. As part of a generation that was able to benefit from the change and the ideals of the European idea, I want a liberal and cosmopolitan Saxony.

The poster image entitled “The Way” is from my photographic work entitled “Gestures” published in 2009 and shows a scene in which one person carries another. It is based on the myth of Aeneas and was shot by me in one of the outskirts of the city of Tunis in Tunisia, a year before the protests that became known as the Arab Spring.

In the spring of this year, a conference proceedings entitled Mend, Blend, Attend: Advancing Artistic Research was published as part of the 13th SAR International Conference on Artistic Research with my text Field Work – Making Kin between the Primate, the Researcher and the Artist.
