Tröglitz.

April 13, 2015

Vor ein paar Tagen habe ich mir gemeinsam mit dem dänischen Journalisten Erik Jensen ein Auto gemietet und wir sind nach Tröglitz gefahren. Tröglitz ist eine kleine Gemeinde in Sachsen-Anhalt und erfuhr in der Nacht zum 4. April 2015 traurige Berühmtheit, als ein für die Unterbringung einer kleinen Anzahl von Flüchtlingen vorgesehenes Haus nachts in Flammen aufging. Das Ergebnis unserer Reise in das Dorf südöstlich von Leipzig ist diesen Sonntag in der Beilage zur Wochenendausgabe der großen dänischen Tageszeitung Politiken erschienen. Ich freue mich über die interessante Zusammenarbeit, die mich in unerwartete Erklärungsnöte brachte und einige Überraschungen bereit hielt. …

A German Story.

August 13, 2014

For a while I have wanted to make a trip through my home country and explore the obvious, the unspectacular, and to search for the common and familiar in my surroundings. After traveling so much and so far in the past few years I felt ready for a bit of habitat. We’ve been home with our parents and grandparents for almost two weeks and went on a few trips in the area, walked through little villages, countless forests and woods and digged into family history and heritage a bit. This has been a beautiful and thoughtful journey so far and …

Burn.

August 23, 2012

I was picking up a train ticket tonight at Ostkreuz when I saw tons of police and firemen running around. Seems as if some crazy person had decided to burn some cars (again…). It was insane, especially because the fire didn’t seem to be controllable and the firemen actually pushed the flames from one car to another. I’m almost sure it was only one car that was put on fire (and it kept on lighting up again) – but the firemen concentrated on one car, while pushing the flames to the neighbouring cars, then trying to control those, while the …

Michael Triegel.

February 4, 2010

In january, the director of the Macedonia documentary movie and I took the train through snowy landscapes to lovely Leipzig and actually got there about two hours late. Arriving in an industrial brick stone area covered in icicles, we were picked up by Michael Triegel and kindly welcomed in his warm and cozy loft studio. I’m usually not into paintings, neither the old master’s way nor religious topics. But Michael Triegel’s works are truly impressive and seem to glow from inside. He clearly is a master of his craft and all of his paintings seem to have somewhat of …
