EVERY BODYOnly two percent of all women in Germany are beautiful - at least according to the general ideal of beauty: minimum 175 cm tall and clothing size 34 to 36. The average woman's body, however, looks somewhat different. The photographic work EVERY BODY is about the utopia of an achievable ideal of beauty. EVERY BODY tells of fears, desires, doubts, self-discipline and happiness.With a „gene lottery“ the exhibition invites to a thought experiment and shows the current view of society on women. EVERY BODY wants to en- courage and awaken - because ideals of beauty are human constructs, different and changeable depending on the region. (2022, ongoing)
SMILE
EFFEKTis book and exhibition in one. You can find the whole photoprojekt here. Every second woman in Germany takes the birth control pill. Manufacturers convey the image of a »Lifestyle product«: better skin, beautiful hair, less weight, separating sexuality from fertility. However, side effects include a tendency towards a decreasing hormonal contraception. As common as the drug it is, its socio-cultural status and health effects are rarely consciously discussed.

Essay on Childhood Perception.

und diese Pfütze das Meer.
Auszug aus Peter Handke
Lied vom Kindsein
Silencium Check shirt and sash, affairs, crazy drinking games and scars on the face. That is the cliché of a fraternity member. But what about a fraternity made up only of the female sex? Hardly anyone has heard of them. Yet they have existed almost as long as their male adversaries. Today, there are already over 75 women's fraternities in Germany alone. Many of the rituals and principles are similar to those of the men, but none of them has ever fought. (2018)
Sie tragen Weiß-Gold-Braun, auf ihren Schärpen, auf ihren Schirmmützen. Sie treffen sich zum "Ankneipen", singen Lieder aus dem"Allgemeinen Deutschen Kommersbuch". Sie nennen sich Bundesschwestern und wählen jedes Jahr ihre Seniora,ihre Vorsitzende: Die Studentinnen der Akademischen Damenverbindung (ADV) Victoria aus Hannover bilden eine der 1100 Verbindungen und Burschenschaften in Deutschland.
Die meisten von ihnen sind Männerbünde, nur etwa 80 nehmen ausschließlich Frauen auf. Die Vorurteile, mit denen sie konfrontiert werden, sind aber dieselben: Trinkgelageund Fechtzwang, rechtskonservative Ansichten und fragwürdige Parolen. [Text: Christopher Piltz]
