Converting

Why do Germans convert to Islam? How does it happen that non-believers or Christians come to embrace a religion whose language and semantics they often don’t understand, and whose traditional rites at first glance have little in common with our own cultural heritage? By means of a photographic dialogue I wanted to thematise how Islam is treated in the West both visually and as regards its content and how quickly we fall into tendentious interpretative frameworks when we do so.
