Found in Translation
The spatial installation “FOUND IN TRANSLATION” by Miguel Ribeiro transcends the boundaries of lexical translation: “saudade”, a word from Portuguese deemed so untranslatable to date that it finds no proper counterpart in any other language. So, the question remains: How is it possible to make something understandable if one’s own vocabulary is not sufficient?
The complex design project addresses an innate communication problem that can lead to a social divide between different cultures and, simultaneously, a lack of conceptual understanding that contributes to many important factors, such as cultural identity. The audience is invited to experience a new kind of translation – on a sensual and emotional level.

That's why. Hamburg.
»That’s why. Hamburg.« To us, it’s the ultimate response for all situations in life. And it’s the ultimate claiming for an international metropolis like ours – more precisely: for a destination as acclaimed and urbane as Hamburg. The image campaign »Weil wir Hamburg sind.« (which unofficially translates back to Because We Are Hamburg) was launched by Hamburg Tourism in 2021 and has since been celebrating terrific successes as it has promoted the particular Hamburg City charm with over 40 different themes – and counting.
EURO 2024
At the "Gateway to the World," we're finally giving a whole new meaning to the term: Of course, I've already placed my towel in the fan zone at Heiligengeistfeld. I made a film for Hamburg Tourism to make sure everyone comes.

Kultursommer Hamburg
A year like no other. In 2021, Hamburg sets a milestone in cultural communication - with a campaign that celebrates culture as an ultimate force. Directed by an unique collaboration of Hamburg Marketing, Hamburg Tourism, and the Department of Culture and Media, the city manages to sustainably raise awareness for culture across all genres and city boundaries.
Hamburg Queer
If we really want to make a difference here at the gateway to the world, then we also need to rethink our culture of welcome. We are fortunate because we now have a huge platform for the message that stands above all: Love whom you want! As part of the wonderful campaign 'That's Why, Hamburg.' I was able to make another film. A film that should make it to every couch, every beer tent, and every screen all across Europe!

Radkultur
Cycling is more than just transportation. It is expression, conviction, and passion – cycling is culture. And Hamburg simply has it: The best flow through the city! Together with Karl Anders, I got to set the brand for cycling in motion at the Gateway to the World. What a ride!

Our Gaze
A project about young adults and teenagers, their relationships and love stories. Photos and videos capture people like you and me. The idea is to express the feeling of struggling to find your place in this world, especially when you’re young. Who do you love? What even is love? And who even am I?Important is to consider, that it’s not from the perspective of already grown ups, but teenagers and young adults. The movie and photos are made by people who are trying to figure it all out and for people who are doing just the same. It’s not ‘teenage gaze‘, but ‘our gaze‘.

Static x Dynamic
How do statics and dynamics correspond to each other? This question was the starting point for my exploration of form and color. What makes a picture dynamic and what must happen for a picture to start moving without really moving. My poster series shows an interesting interplay of movement and stillness, which is otherwise reserved for animation.
