Thanks to Lisa and Ragi for these special hours with you and thanks to Lennart Herberhold from NDR for inviting us to Himmelmoor for filming and interview.

For the artistic project “Get moving, Grandma”, I was allowed to portray 23 people. The pictures, printed on canvas, were then embroidered with colorful threads and presented in an outdoor exhibition at the Tipica Festival. Many thanks to Almuth Pfützenreuter and Julia Gräser for their endless commitment.
Here is an insight into the project and the process at MDR:

Yesterday I was a guest on WDR 5 in Cologne – thanks for the great interview!

Because our book is about death, but at least as much about life, we were delighted to be at the “Life and Death” trade fair in Bremen on May 16 and 17: to read at the opening of the fair, show pictures and have a place to talk about our project at our open stand in the middle of Hall 5. We are filled with many wonderful encounters, ideas and impulses – and are already excited to see where else we will travel with “Who are you, Death?”. One thing is already clear: to “Life and Death” in Freiburg in October!

ZEIT Online has published some pictures and an abridged version of Karoline’s monologue from “Who are you, Death?”. When Karoline learns that she is dying of cancer, she gets a tattoo: “aware”. It is her reminder of how she wants to live: consciously, especially in the face of the inexorability of death. The text, which outlines her last months, is above all a life-affirming legacy.

On behalf of the Sendehalle Foundation, I am taking a photographic survey of the former Nazi memorial site in Weimar. The site will be converted into a cultural education center in the near future – an important step in dealing responsibly with history. More photos will follow.
