“And this was supposed to be a post about a pottery market”

In the past few months I have felt disconnected and somewhat isolated. Now, it’s hard not to fall into the usual “solitary-artist” stereotype who works in darkness and isolation, to then deliver a new masterpiece to a world of stunned…

Urban agriculture – taking back abandoned public spaces in Berlin

Cities have plenty of abandoned public spaces and when they manage to remain in public hands, which is not always the case unfortunately, often something very special can happen. An example is this great project: Prinzessinnengärten (Princess gardens),…

Public spaces in Berlin: truly public decisions?

Due to something I have been working on, I have been out observing and photographing the city a lot. Berlin is not a city that has gone undocumented. Quite to the contrary, there are many exhibitions and art works dedicated…

Where to go for an analog C-Print in Berlin: my love for lists

I seem to have a thing for making lists, fabric shops lists, darkrooms lists, and now this.
I have been doing my own C-Prints for a couple of months now and I am glad that I do…

Work in progress

First and foremost, this Friday is the opening in Hamburg of the exhibition “Structurally recyclable, basically disposable”.
Besides the exhibition, I am trying to channel my energy a bit (in a non-new-age sense). I have had many new ideas…

And it’s spring again

So apparently it’s spring and Berlin is slowly (slowly) coming to life. Soon you will have the usual newspaper articles about people massively going to the parks, the bike business reaching its seasonal peaks, and some brave people attempting the…

The December 12 “candle” demonstration in Berlin for the Copenhagen summit

On the 12th of December I went to a demonstration, a candle light demonstration in a cold pre-Christmas Berlin, held in front of the Brandenburg Gate and organised by the group TCKTCK.
The aim was, of course, to tell…

No abstraction

Someone told me that I should be writing about the exhibition, as it’s something rather important and it’s happening right now.
Whereas it is indeed something that literally shapes my days and consumes a lot of my energy,…

Budget cuts and double standards

“Unfair and unbelievable!” are the words I have used the most today, along with the display of a sorry face. I know times are tough for everyone, I know times have always been tough in the arts an culture…

November, november

November in Berlin.
This has been a month of reading, patient silence and not so patient attempt to get ahead of my desire to “know things”.
I have put my Holga to work and focused my attention on…

Sewing off topic – Finding fabric in Berlin


I am not the best when it comes to working with measurements. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I am not incredibly patient either. That’s why this post, or…

Pictures of a day – 18th July 2009

The internet was down yesterday evening.
Saturday was a good and full day. We welcomed two new members of our family, Leonardo and Sophie, two black-and-white cats, brother and sister. They are giving us plenty of love already.
