Freak Show(2005-07)
Freakshow was a photo project with my sport buddies. I want to give respect due to all the athletes who do extreme sports like skating, BMX or surfing. Some people have the wrong idea of these guys. They think they are drunken, drug-doped, rough and nasty persons exhibiting bad behaviour. Therefore, I created Freak Show, to present the opposite. I show them doing their sport in an elegant suit. The combination of extreme sports and elegance is so controversial but it should tell us that they are just athletes with a great talent. They are the same individuals just like us. People are simply jealous of what they can do. Accept who you are and what you can do and don´t judge other people, especially if you don´t know their real personality.
