The working title for the Phd projekt is : Private politics (& Public Secrets) The overriding research issue can be formulated as follows: How can public structures be shaped, influenced or even created by individuals?

The central issue for my research project will be: What is the essence of the triangular relationship between fine art, documentary and social media? What kind of interaction can be constructed between them? What are the cause and effect possibilities of this interaction?

How does the construction of the presentation in visual, sound, space and virtual terms affect its impact? What aesthetic decisions are pertinent for the efficacy of its program?

Background: Five Actions in South Africa and eight projects in Palestine and Israel have shaped my view of art and its meaning. I do not take photographs, they are given to me in the encounter. It is not the image of an event that counts, it is the situation created because of our inner images. And then how the image is mediated.
