During the watercolor exhibition in the vaulted cellar of Schloss Seeburg—on the occasion of the Long Night of the Bodensee Gardens 2025, held under the motto WeinbauKULTUR (winegrowing culture).
For the Lange Nacht der Bodenseegärten (Long Night of the Bodensee Gardens) 2025, held under the motto WeinbauKULTUR (winegrowing culture), the vaulted cellar of Schloss Seeburg will exhibit watercolors by Carole from 6 to 9 p.m. The works were created on behalf of the Department of Society and Culture of the City of Kreuzlingen and the Seemuseum. They have been, and continue to be, used for things like brochures and overview maps – now on display in their original form for the first time.
The exhibition combines the historic ambiance of the castle with traditional viticulture and contemporary illustration. The display includes well-known objects from the museum, the Fragrant and Winter Flower Garden, and the Arboretum located in Seeburgpark, along with depictions of the park.

The association Wahrheitskämpfer (wahrheitskaempfer.de) creates an international memorial to press freedom through drawn and painted portraits of journalists who have been killed, persecuted, or imprisoned. Since 2015, artists from around the world have portrayed journalists who were threatened or killed because of their work. Nearly 1,000 portraits have been documented so far.
In August 2025, the Frankfurter Rundschau (fr.getoetete-journalisten) published several portraits from the project in its coverage of journalists killed in the Gaza Strip, including a work by Carole.

Article about Something Else at the Citadel | Al-Ahram Hebdo, December 6-12, 2023 | Online: french.ahram.org.eg
We’re thrilled to Unveil Something Else at the Citadel – A contemporary art experience like no other!
This experience unfolds at the historic Salah al-Din Citadel and brings together 140+ artists and 21 Curators from all around the world, promising an enriching fusion of a diverse array of visual arts, installations, art performances, films, and photography.
On this historical site, we are going to convey ancient memories in order to dream of new futures. It has always been foolish, as suggested by the poet W.B. Yeats, to ever think that the work was done. The work is never done. On the contrary. It is a never-ending process of awareness and actions. There is always something else to be discovered, something else to be formulated, something else to be invented. This is our commitment.
We shall respond to questions posed by the Yeats.
"What Then?"
Our answer will be Something Else.
