 After one year of intensive work, the exhibition 'Believe it or Not' will happen finally in Weimar. Opening at the 18th of May. I am performing a short version of my play Self-portrait. I am showing my collection of portraits 'This is My God' with works developed with nearly 20 people. Many thanks to all people I photographed and everyone who supported me, especially Frank Motz, Franziska Becher, Joana Bartolomeu, Inês Valle and Gert-Jan Stam.
