An interview by

Gerd Brockmann
FM BECKER Fotografie Flensburg / Germany
Hello abens and thank you for the Invitation . Yes , my Studies at the University of Flensburg gave me some basics about the combination of textile , art and visual media concepts and I learned to use my experiences from the early years . In the 90 ´ s I finished an apprenticeship in an old tradition house ( since 1899 ), near Hamburg and I learned a lot of things about fabrics , garment , sewing and all that stuff in a really “ old-school ” way . Before I decide to study abroad I took a workshop at the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University and I meet the
Head of the Fashion Design & Textiles Department , Prof . Dr . Kemal Can while he gave a lecture about Fiber Art and the development of ephemeral concepts in environmental installations . I fall in Love with it . A short time before I started to work at the border of different disciplines and started to research in between fashion , art , photography projects etc . at Germany . I realized that I found a new way for me and this Professor opened another door to create a new visual language . It was the intense beginning of my new work periods . Between
