Die See ist in Bewegung. Der Mensch ist eine Insel. Meine fotografisch-künstlerische Arbeit befasst sich mit der Geschichte und dem Erbe der Handelsmarine der DDR. Der "Volkseigene Betrieb Deutsche Seereederei Rostock", 1952 quasi aus dem Nichts gegründet, transportierte als international agierendes Charterunternehmen Waren um den gesamten Globus und zählte bis zu ihrer Auflösung nach dem Zusammenschluss von BRD und DDR zu den großen europäischen Universalreedereien.

The sea is in motion. Human beeings are islands. My photographic-artistic work deals with the history and heritage of the merchant navy of the GDR. The "Volkseigene Betrieb Deutsche Seereederei Rostock", founded out of nothing in 1952, transported goods around the entire globe as an internationally operating charter company. It was one of the large European universal shipping companies until its dissolution after the merger of the FRG and the GDR.
