Together with Thomas Rassloff i traveled into Syria in December 2012 to cover the ongiong civil-war. It was my first real Travel into a conflict-zone and every Day i wrote Letters describing my Impressions wich got published on NERDCORE.de (1,2,3,4). Here´s a Slideshow with a Selection of Photos.

Back in Berlin i gave several Radio-Interviews, i published some of the Photos i took on ZEIT.de (Photos/Article, arabspingcollective by Hanno Pöppel), Tagesspiegel (print/web), TAZ (print/web), ZITTY (web/print), TIP (print/web), NRZ (print/web) and the “Letters of Aleppo” (including a 5th Day) got published in the swiss Magazine REPORTAGEN. The Release of REPORATGEN got celebrated with an Exhibition/Installation at Stattbad in Berlin (curated by openwalls-Gallery).

In February 2013 i was invited to the Committee on Human Rights and Humanitarian Aid of the german Government.
