In June 2015, i was assigned by Studio Olafur Eliasson to photograph the artwork Above beneath below above in downtown Singapur. 

In 2009, I was assigned to photograph the PRADA Transformer in Seoul, South Korea, a project collaboration of PRADA and Rem Koolhaas. The Transformer was a temporary structure picked up by cranes and rotated four times to accommodate a variety of cultural events in the centre of Seoul, South Korea. I ended up flying to Seoul four times, every time the Transformer was rotated, two times on assignment for ZEIT Magazine and two times for PRADA.

In 2007, I was allowed to travel to North Korea, to document the hiking area around Kumgang Montain. The range of mountains on the border to South Korea was open for South Korean tourists for a few years until a female hiker was shot dead in 2008 after entering a military zone.  Koreans have perceived Kumgang (Diamond) Mountain as their muse since well before the Middle Ages. Practically every poet and artist who lived during the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910) made a pilgrimage to Mt. Kumgang.
