CURRENT MISSION

'die' in German means 'the' - so this is not an imperative

ABOUT ME

I am a PhD student in Sociology working on migration, social inequality and labour market. Apart from academia I like to take pictures and create satirical art installations (for details please see my website).

I live in the 5th district in Vienna (close to the city center) in a shared apartment together with my sister Pia and our flatmate Paul.

At the moment I am a Visiting Academic in Oxford.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all kinds of music:

Soul/Motown (Thelma Houston, Isley Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Candi Staton, Otis Redding, Spanky Wilson...)

Funk/Jazz (Alice Russell, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Thievery Corporation, Curtis Mayfield, St. Germain...)

Electro/Minimal Techno (GusGus, BoysNoize, 2manydjs, Goose, MSTRKRFT, LCD Soundsystem, mymy...)

Rock/Alternative (The black keys, The Gossip, The Staggers, The Raconteurs, Spoon, Charlotte Hatherley, Malajupe,..)

I also listen to swing music, like Richard Cheese or Matthew Herbert Big Band so I am really open to different kinds of music. Further I've been playing the piano for 6 years but this ability is kind of antiquated, as I haven't been practicing for more than 5 years now.

My favorite movie is "Bikur ha-tizmoret" (The Band's visit)
Some other movies I like:
Happiness, Dogtooth, Harold and Maude, Amarcord, Dogville, Night on earth, City of god, Taxi Driver, High Fidelity, Billy Elliott, Down By Law, Garden State, Swimming Pool, Everything you always wanted to know about sex, Coffee and Cigarettes, The Party, BlowUp, Rushmore, The Science of Sleep ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I skydived at the age of 13.
