The City I lost my Heart to (2014)
... is the starting point to a project where I will compare cities and regions of different parts of the world, show their parallels and similarities and want to give the recipients a new view on those regions. The City I Lost My Heart to (2014)
... marks the beginning of a project where I compare cities and regions from different parts of the world, highlighting their parallels and similarities to offer viewers a fresh perspective on these areas.
The first image below (100x67cm) features some of my favorite areas in Tokyo. I could share numerous stories about my walks through these streets, detailing which streets I wandered and what I encountered along the way. These stories would include encounters with homeless people in Minami-Senju (south of the major freight terminal visible in the northern part of the image), amusing anecdotes from Asakusa, and endless tales about Ueno.
From March 27th to May 12th, I participated in an exhibition in Germany titled "Das Glueck liegt auf der Strasse." The exhibition featured works by Alien Productions, Hubert Blanz, Elisabeth Czihak, Robert F. Hammerstiel, Paul Horn & Lotte Lyon, Helmut Kandl, Gudrun Kemsa, Michael Michlmayr, Michael Wesely, Ursula Zeidler, and Fabio Zolly. It was curated by Petra Noll.

The first image below (size 100x67cm) shows some of the areas of Tokyo that I like the most. I could tell lots of stories about how I walked through the streets, which streets I walked and what I saw there. There would be stories about the homeless people I met in Minami-Senju (south of the big fright terminal in the north of the image), funny stories about Asakusa and never ending ones about Ueno.
