Tafalong, ein Dorf umgeben von Bergen an der Ostküste Taiwans. Die Heimat des taiwanesischen indigenen Stammes der Ami. Die Geschichte einer volkstümlichen Kulturpraxis der taiwanesischen Amis-Indianer und deren Beherrschung einmaliger Handwerkskunst. Dieses Projekt trägt dazu bei, den spirituellen Glauben der Amis an Naturphänomene zu archivieren, der sich auf ihre Volksreligion, ihre Rituale, ihre Sprache und Kultur konzentriert. Romansa Wang (eine meiner Hauptansprechpartnerinnen bei den Amis) sagt: "Es ist zu hoffen, dass eine solche traditionelle Kultur durch die Fotografie weiter verstanden und dokumentiert werden kann".

In this project I am focusing on foreigners,
who arrived during the last recent years to
Germany. They are well educated and have
completed an integration german course.
Actually they should not have a problem to
find a good job according to the german
government, but the reality looks different
for them. Although many have university
degrees from their homeland, they are
often forced to accept poorer and harder
jobs. These types of jobs are usually
hardly done by local people. They have to
work as carer for the elderly, cleaning staff,
kitchen assistants or newspaper deliverer.
For the employees of the Federal Agency
for Labor, the overqualification of migrant
seems to have no relevance. The dream
of better life bursts for many. They are desperate.
The main part of my project portraits foreigners
at their workplace. They are working
on places where they are invisible.
I would like to break this invisibility and
show the role that their work plays for the
functioning of our society.
