Cold Heron, Schlachtensee. Grau Reihe

This is a version of Teams I did on two days in summer a couple of years back and which have been printed on self-adhesive transparencies and stuck onto the glass windows of the external stair well of the Kreuzberg Museum. At night you can see the pictures illuminated from within and during the day the sun lights them the other way. It is more of an installation than the other Teams. They people are to some extent random and some are friends and acquaintances who just happened to be at the two locations on those days.

These are the members of a dance group who had produced a show about migration and the hardships these people have to endure. The form is related to passport photos and was used in advertising the show

These are the crew of a Bundeswehr Lynx helicopter. We went out on a flight with them and I got to be winched down to the ground while the machine was hovering 50 metres up. It was great!

This is the very first Teams photograph. Taken in a school in East Berlin around 1994. The background is a Socialist Realist Mural because the school was built behind the Stalin Allee which later changed its name to Karl-Marx-Allee and is now called Frankfurter Allee. Probably because it belongs to the Frankfurt School. (Joke). The girls were taking their exams in circus, one of the subjects you can take to get the equivalent of 'O' Levels.
