SESAME STREET and love of art long gone

As I entered the SESAME STREET exhibition at the film museum in Berlin, I couldn’t help noticing the tingling feeling of excitement in my belly. I was thrilled to see those sculpture masterpieces called the Muppets, behind protective glass vitrines, live in front of me! Then it dawned on me, this is how I should and want to feel whenever I go to see any art exhibition in a museum or a gallery. Here lies the problem:

I have contributed to an upcoming exhibition by borrowing sneakers and photos from my private performance collection. This time its a pair of pink Jeremy Scott Poodles, model number Q23499, from the adidas ObyO ss13 collection. The exhibition is entitled: “STARKER AUFTRITT!” (experimentelles Schuh-design) and will take place from 28.03. – 29.09.2013 in the GRASSI Museum für angewandte Kunst (Leipzig, Germany) in collaboration with the Virtual Shoe Museum from Holland. We are hoping there wil be a catalogue too. As a teaser, here the link to my photo and poodle shoe on the Virtual shoe Museum. Hope to see many of you at the opening in March!

I had a great time at the adidas party! Somebody took this picture of me and it ended up HERE! I wonder who the photographer was? As you can clearly see, I love colors! Here a mash-up of Jeremy Scott for ObyO, C-neeon, New Era “Zombie trapper” and Vivienne Westwood! Black is so overrated and mostly used by the weak! There are dangerous news coming up soon! xxx

Ivan Civic – law of desire

la ley del deseo - pedro almodovar

You know… in these lonely nights, away from all civilisation, on the top of a little mountain, surrounded only by deep thoughts… one gets to be quite sad… and one starts to think a lot about everything… especially those things one should never think about… such as fear of what will follow once I come back home… or where I will go to next… or losing somebody I love… or just the thought of what I thought and felt love would be and feel like when I was younger. In this late hour, on a cold february saturday night, I remember exactly how I felt when

The rose that travelled to Berlin

I left Schloss Solitude today… I will be back in a couple of days. I had no luggage … I transported a special passenger with me… a red-pink rose. It arrived safe to Berlin… thanx to Nilu for the photo…

a first boost of inspiration… minimal… trashy and real!

Dear friends…
this summer sucks…
breaking up if so painfull it feels like dieing! The pain is not fading!
August is a “good-bye” kind of month and it always brings out the nostalgy that will follow up till mid -end october, leaving space to a cold winter…

these days I am not on holidays anywhere… all my friends stood me up. Nobody gives a fuck or is too busy surviving. So now the time has come for me to do my shit regardless of the others and stop saying always yes! SO here I am saying NO to useless phone calls, silly requests, miserable date offers and boring conversations.

I will have my holidays and they will be spent in Berlin, at home, with the phone off the hook and no e-mails and work. No blood suckers around me any more. Just lazy sublime nothing. A soft summer breeze, a video camera, a photo camera, inspiration and me.

Here is a first boost of inspiration… minimal… trashy and real! after the jump you can see the other four parts of the video as well. enjoy.

It’s party time :)

A little gambling is fun when you’re with me…

and baby if it’s love… it isn’t fun if it isn’t rough

Hello, here an “abstract” ***** poem. Modern… maybe not. Delicate… depending on the point of view and interesting… not really, exept for the fact that often people do and say things that mean more to them in the moment when they say them, than they ever really do or would to anybody else. If anybody has a similar need to share their own futile exercises in “puke the emotion out the wrong way”, then please feel free to post it/them here.
