Spaces 75x75 cm (each picture) 2006

I have always had a strong interest in sociological, psychological and philosophical topics and I have developed my knowledge in theoretical seminars dealing with the social and cultural context of various 20th and 21st century movements. Recently I debated on Systems Theory, Existential Philosophy, Positive Psychology and Humour Research and I am very interested in educational issues. People and life itself are my inspiration. And I think the best motivator is myself. It comes from within and I have a need to express my ideas and to create something. My family supports me and I’m very thankful that my parents made a lot possible for me. Sometimes they ask me: „Frauke, why haven’t you finished your teacher studies – it would be a a safe job with good money now“ – I can understand their worries a bit, because it’s not a secret that it is hard and a permanent fight to make money with photography, especially when your passion is on art, but I just don’t want to do anything else. Since Summer 2009 I have discovered the enormous potential and possibilities of Social Media, and I’m working very actively and with passion on Facebook and Twitter. Not only I am using these networks for exchange and research, but I am also working pretty actively on mostly self-initiated projects. I really appreciate the immediacy and reachability of Social Media tools and they provide a fantastic way to make something happen and to communicate in so many different directions. I can give my fancy full scope on these networks and sometimes I am laughing tears on my very own. I love to be around in social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter. Not only is it stimulating to get to know other perspectives, but it is also very enriching as people with different cultural backgrounds share knowledge and experiences. I learn a lot from other people and I am grateful when people are honest. And I appreciate motivational words from good friends as well as from strangers. Social networking is also good and the „I like –button“ on facebook is a wonderful invention.  Just with a single click people can show appreciation. It’s a little something, but it makes you feel good and noticed. I can’t understand why people don’t show acceptance or are envious of other people – if they just did what they are really into and not compare so much with others, they would be probably happier and treat other people in a kind and human way.
