Networked Practice
*2024
The project uses "Marginalia"--an online multi-threaded writing tool currently in the testing phase, to explore the possibilities of multi-threaded writing. Artists and theorists conduct research and discussions on network practices related to the internet, either rooted in their own backgrounds or related to the theme of their work. I was responsible for writing, photography, design and production in this project.
Auswärtslesungen
*2023-2024
The project is a newly founded reading series by KHM students of Literary Writing. The aim is to step out of the institution of the Academy and into the city--to create a shared stage, foster exchange, and come together to share texts, read, listen, and discuss.
For each event, "Auswärtslesungen" invites three KHM students and one additional author from the Cologne area for a reading and conversation.
Case / Projektraum der Fotografie
*2022-2025
"Case" is a project space run by Beate Gütschow and Andreas Langfeld at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln). It hosts solo exhibitions by students, as well as lectures and seminars.
We__the weapon
*2024
Design for the short film directed by Mohamad Moe Sabbah. Co-produced by Bastian Klügel.
Kurze Vol.6
*2023
The project is an anthology of literary writing published annually since 2018 at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln). It focuses primarily on short forms: poems, short stories, and essays.
For this year's 6th edition, the editors have decided to focus on political texts and to explore how various identities and power structures influence writing.
SPACE
*2018
Design for the nightclub SPACE Ganzhou.
Photographic Utopia
*2022
Photographic Utopia features student works from seminar of the same name by Alex Grein at KHM.
It focuses on the following questions:
- How could a photographic utopia or utopian photography look like?
- Will the cameras of the future be operated by humans at all?
- How will motifs, social concerns, documentary approaches, or materials change?
Köln 706
*2022-2023
"706" is an international youth organization that has been active for over ten years. It has established a variety of spaces in more than a dozen cities worldwide.
It is not just a co-living space—it is also an ongoing experiment in creating "urban living rooms," offering young people the opportunity for offline social interaction through immersive, meaningful, and non-routine ways of communication.
Kaczynski's Warning
*2020
A boy with extraordinary talents but a flawed personality has gradually transformed from the youngest mathematics PhD in the United States to a serial bomber. After 16 bombs were manufactured and distributed, 3 people were killed, 4 were maimed, 19 were injured and a civilian aircraft was damaged. Even after more than a decade of investigation, the FBI still has no clue and can only meet its requirements. It published an "anti-tech" manifesto "Industrial society and its future" in the "New York Times" and "Washington Post."

Imagine completely demolishing the interior of a design school building and then stuffing a cathedral within it...
Double presence

Greenwich Hippie Institute
*2018
"Rebellion" is the concept that the project focuses on implementation. Any story of the era that seems unusual at the moment needs an equally unusual and appropriate carrier.
the Autumn Carnival / COOLER
*2018
A new brand image, a new network information platform, a large-scale carnival, a semi-annual magazine, and a bunch of gadgets. When the volume of information is overloaded, the importance of editing in the project process becomes more and more obvious. Only the information after being sorted closely logically can achieve high work efficiency and accuracy in the design, and the editor always precedes the communication.
Döner mit Alles
*2022-ongoing
The project is a podcast produced by four Chinese students based in Germany. It aims to turn experiences, emotions, and possible reflections into words, conveying them through sound to the Chinese community in Germany.

His eyes softened a little, but only a little and he felt that he had once again gotten the victory he wanted.
"You're getting old, too." She looked up at him slowly and he recognized that look, it was familiar, but the coldness of her tone surprised him, "If you don't realize that, sooner or later you'll flash your back with this belt, and they'll tug on your tie and step on your back so you'll never get up again...
How to Cross the Strait
*and the
"Temporary Reunion"
*2025
With the intention of exploring the fear of an "inevitable war," I decided to simulate a landing. I sought to entwine local history, geopolitics, and the inherent violence of photography through bodily experience. The two share resonances in their historical ruptures, border anxieties, and the vulnerability of being surrounded by the sea...
This project was developed during the residency in Landskrona.
the internal crusade
*2024-ongoing
In the summer of 2024, I undertook a two-month journey along the route, documenting the symbolic representations of the “Long March” and the people who live along it. We live in an illusion constructed by false tales, our intentions are revealed as some kind of task, and our experiences are hammered into certain struggles. The image of the god we worship is so blurred as to be weathered by the vulgar soul. This work is in response to these questions.
"Remember to call your Mother, Son"
*2023
It’s been months since I last spoke to my family. I need and desire to communicate with them, but I don’t know how to start. The conflict of generational differences seems to be piling up. Why does it get stuck in my throat whenever I want to say something? What was the problem? I’ve given up looking for the answer, or rather, looking at my own experience. I look around and listen to other people’s stories, from a friend or a passing stranger, entering their private space - maybe like me - their place to hide or to heal.
Haven't we danced here before?
*2023
The short series comes from a travel shoot with Ayham Khalifeh to East Germany in the summer of 2023. The magazine is in production and is expected to be released in the middle of next year.
PMC Wagner Arts
*2023
"The hybrid PMC Wagner Arts (PWA) corporation distinguishes itself by its remarkable ability to convert violence, war, and radical end-time capitalism into futurism and art. Their unique approach transforms all aspects of their activities into art, redesigning corporate structures according to aesthetic criteria. PWA meticulously devises and organizes its research methods, operational activities, and product pipelines to ensure that they are completely safeguarded by the principles of artistic and expressive freedom. This opens up a rich panorama of contradictions and opportunities."
