A SWEATER FOR THE WORLD! is a never ending project which started in 2006.

A SWEATER FOR THE WORLD! is a enormous 2-person sweater designed with the aim of bringing as many different individuals together as possible, in order to challenge people's intolerances. These big series of pictures with a weird fun collection of people shows ONE world with different kind of styles, ages, points of view, values, religions and imagination. What is more personal then to share your sweater, which offers you security and protects and hides your body - and sometimes even your personality -, with somebody else!

A SWEATER FOR THE WORLD! is an example to the world. By huddling together with somebody else in the sweater and by taking yourself not too seriously for a moment, touch each-other or even embrace, the world gets enriched and connected by means of an inevitable in common smile. The pictures are the proof that everybody is the same, everybody is connected and everybody can be happy next to each-other. An example for our society full of prejudices, ignorance, racism, distant-ion and terrorism. And misses the personal, sense of perspective, positivism and self-mockery.

But what's the most important about A SWEATER FOR THE WORLD!; it's just fun!
