Ami Sioux

yesterday night dieter and i laid in bed and looked together at the second book from Ami Sioux "Paris". We both agreed to plan a trip to paris soon and to find all the secret places and spots in the book.
oh its such a nice book!
....

and!!!

now i want to order her first book "REYKJAVIK"! oh how nice would it be to travel around iceland.

"Reykjavik 64°08N 21°54W isn't your typical travel guide, but it is a highly unique concept. The author of the guide, Ami Sioux (a Paris-based photographer) asked 50 people in Reykjavik to hand draw maps of a significant or important place of their choosing. She later takes to the roads and Icelandic wilderness or where ever the maps may lead her and photographs the area."

the museum of everything

At the Moment my favourite place of london is "THE MUSEUM OF EVERYTHING". went already twice since the opening and cant wait to show it to all my friends who will visit me in london and friends from london who havent been there yet.

EXHIBITION #1

In tiny crevices and under dusty beds, there lies a secret creativity by the unknowns of society. Unexpected, delicate and profound, this democratic work has inspired the world’s greatest artists.

In Exhibition #1, the museum presents over two hundred drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations, selected by leading contemporary artists, curators and cultural figures.

Come see their discoveries revealed for the very first time - at London’s only public space for art by the untrained, unintentional and unseen creators of this, our modern world.

opening

ok - darken your rooms and watch this opening scene of Bela Tarr´s "WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES" its such a great great scene!..

... i would be pluto´s moon "charon" and i would ask dieter to play "pluto".
The system of Pluto and Charon is unusual among planetary systems in that each is tidally locked to the other: Charon always presents the same face to Pluto, and Pluto always presents the same face to Charon.

last night...

i was dreaming i was ariel.... it was something of a dream. awful!

This christmas...

... i would like to find this two books under my christmas tree. i went yesterday with silke and her son anton to the museum of childhood and found these two books in the museum shop. anton was more interested in a german tank they had there in display ( he ask his mum to get that for christmas)

past and present

last saturday i went with my dear antwerp friend johan on a journey to his past.

johan´s bag carried an envelope filled with photos of his childhood showing him and his life on the farm he grew up. he and his family had to leave the farm when he was 6 years old because a village was designed to be build on their grounds.
it was very nice for me that i could join him on this search finding the locations on the photos and being next to him revealing lost memories.
