My #bestnine2018 showing my #exhibitionproject, #multimediainstallation #munaqabba i was working on the past year like a lunatic, which was shown in Sept + will be exhibited again in 2019, presumably in Cologne, Dortmund &…will keep you posted. Also one of my many #assignments in 2018, a #magazinepublication for @elternmagazin in which I portrayed the last days of Dr.Geiss a paediatrician in Cologne-Chorweiler. Also worked on various other projects such as a 9-day travel story for @brigittemagazin which will be out in Jan2019, christmas catalogue for @weinfreunde, @audible campaign, learnt to drive a pallet transporter #gabelstapler @ a #photoshoot for CJD, shot lots of portraits + stories for e.g. @stern @derspiegel.magazin @enorm_magazin @zeitwissen the lastest #galore cover &many CEOs e.g. for @wirtschaftswoche @deichmann @vonovia @peekundcloppenburg_de & was very happy to go back to @fhdortmund to start lecturing photography As some of you know this year wasn’t only about great projects, but also very much about personal challenges & loss, and so I took some well needed time off in Oct & Nov to ground myself & recover. went hiking as much as I could, visited family /friends I hadn’t seen in ages, increased my yoga practice after a few weeks of tenosynovitis in both arms. Especially in years like this, in which I once more learnt how important it is to look after myself, I also understood to embrace my vulnerability, accept help from others, ask for support, love and lots of hugs, and that it is ALWAYS in my hands to fill my life with joy. That there’s no need for „either-or“. That accepting the duality can give me peace. That the presence of darkness doesn’t mean the absence of light. That it is OK when tears of sadness spill over into tears of laughter, when loss is sensibel & simultaneously the richness of life. When deep connections, friendship & love compensate the void. 2018 – you have been one of the biggest challenges. But I bow to you, in deep humbleness & respect. Because you have taught me so much. Still processing… but thank you! Thanks to everyone who made me happy, laugh, cry, feel loved this year. Supported+believed in me.

From my #exhibition #project #munaqabba #multimedia #installation Wir erleben uns oft 
erst in der Abgrenzung 
zu anderen. 
Wie stark muss ich mich von anderen abheben um eine Eigendefinition zu erreichen? 
Und inwieweit bedroht mich Andersartigkeit in meinem Selbstbild? In her project photographer Selina Pfrüner sets out on a journey, against her own mindset boundaries. She seeks confrontation with the fears and irritations that the unknown triggers in us, and deals with the realities of the life of fully veiled women in Germany. In Portraits and Interviews she gains access to their everyday lives, their faith, discovers similarities and differences – reflecting on how the otherness of others influences us. #munaqabba - Frau in #Vollverschleierung Deutschland 2018 #ausstellungsprojekt #ausstellung #niqab #islam #art #munaqabah #munaqaba #selfrelection @ #groupexhibition SELF REFLECTION #photoszene #photoszene2018 September 14th-30th, 2018 @ AZE, Köln @artrmx #selinapfruener https://www.instagram.com/p/BqXKbs3AMFd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a80hgfzf9plb

Einladung 
Donnerstag, 27. September um 19 Uhr zu einer offenen Diskussion mit einem Vortrag „Ich will d/mein Gesicht sehen!“- Die verschleierte Frau als das Andere von Björn Muntzek (Multikulturell e.V.) im Atelierzentrum-Ehrenfeld, 
Hospeltstr. 69, 50825 Köln Der Diskurs zum Kopftuch und zur Verschleierung muslimischer Frauen ist stark emotional aufgeladen. Die Binnenperspektiven muslimischer Frauen finden darin wenig Berücksichtigung. Vielmehr wird von der scheinbar selbstverständlichen Tatsache einer unterdrückten Weiblichkeit ausgegangen. In der Austellungsführung wollen „wir“ die Frage stellen, woher diese starken Emotionen stammen, welche Grundannahmen und Funktionen dem Diskurs zugrunde liegen und vor allem- was es über „uns“ selbst sagt. Es werden Protagonistinnen anwesend sein. Ich freue mich auf eine neugierige, respektvolle, lebendige Diskussion #selinapfruener #photoszene2018 #burkadebatte #islam #vollverschleierung #niqab #gesichtsschleier #vortrag #offenediskussion #offenegesellschaft #verstehenlernen #kunst=vermittler #art #multimediainstallation #ausstellung #multimedia #interkultur https://www.instagram.com/p/BoLqxxGFPej/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g3i29uuzbc4f
