Germanys Reality Check, Köln 2006
I curated and produced the video presentation for the 15th anniversary of the basketball weekend "Germany's Reality Check," handling event promotion, exhibition curation, and tournament documentation.
Following a two-year corona break, I aimed for an authentic, urban, and stylish promotion, collaborating with the main sponsor, DefShop, to create an event trailer that highlighted key elements such as the tournament, dunk contest, exhibition, and the 15th anniversary.

The aim was not just to showcase the characters but also to capture the event's atmosphere and ambience. Stylized shots emphasized the dynamic nature of the sport and urbanity, with models reflecting authenticity and vibrant energy, embodying the excitement of the tournament.

I began with extensive research to gather a wide range of materials, including photos, videos, press articles, and also personal accounts from the organizer, players, coaches and fans. The compilation of this material formed the basis for the exhibition.
Based on my research, the next step was to carefully select the photo and video exhibits for the exhibition. This involved viewing and selecting over 30,000 photo and video documents.
Following my research, I meticulously curated the exhibition by carefully selecting photo and video exhibits from a pool of over 30,000 documents.

In my role as curator, I emphasized selecting compelling images to create a chronological narrative outlining the 15-year history of the tournament. The presentation was organized into distinct sections and years, offering visitors a clear and coherent understanding of the tournament's chronological development.
After completing the concept and image selection for over 250 works, I categorized the works into different sizes and print formats. I then developed a presentation concept for the basketball hall by redesigning the conservatory as an entrance area. Due to limited options, I decided to use wooden slatted walls covered with black tightly stretched molleton. In this way I created a tunnel that served as a timeline to mount and present the pictures.
Having finalized the concept and selected over 250 images, I categorized them by size and print format.

Overall, my focus was to not only present a physical collection of artifacts, but also to create an engaging and educational experience that immersed visitors in the fascinating history of this Cologne basketball tournament.
The last step for me was to document the event and manage the event production.
