When I shot this series I explored the back yards in my home town Munich. My head was full of stories of what might be going on behind these windows and doors. We live in a society where the private life becomes more and more a public catwalk. Everybody can take part in the highs the lows and in betweens of other peoples lives.

But at this point most of the time we get to choose what we want to share and what not. People share the things that make them look good, sophisticated, successful – whatever they want the world to think about them. But will it always stay this way? Will a closed door in the future still mean nobody gets to see what we do, say or feel? Every move you make has to be a conscious decision. You have to keep in mind: "What would the community think?".

I dedicate this series to my friend Joe who always inspired me to push this project.
