IRANIAN ROSES

Thursday, January 5, 2012

Friday, November 18, 2011

Our friends at Ein Magazin über Orte recently published their latest issue dedicated to Berlin, and I’m really happy that they asked to include a few images of a series that I started working on quite a few years ago (and since then shamefully neglected), on the city’s layered past, in this case its East [...]

Saturday, July 9, 2011

Today marks the birth of a new country: South Sudan which, after decades of civil war and atrocities that are hard to imagine, is finally becoming independent. Normally, this wouldn’t have meant all that much to me, but now it does, having recently finished Dave Eggers‘ What is the What, a fictionalized autobiography of Valentino [...]

PORTUGAL TURNS RIGHT

Monday, June 6, 2011

After the election with the biggest vote abstention (4 million people in a country of 10 million) in the whole country’s history, Portugal elected a new right wing social democrat government.

READING ROOM

Friday, April 15, 2011

We can think of no better place to read mono.kultur issue #24 with Cyprien Gaillard’s interview than on top of the “beeramid”, Cyprien’s large-scale sculpture at KW in Berlin, built out of 72,000 bottles of Efes beer. Approximate duration to read Cyprien’s interview: 3 Efes beer!
The ‘reading room’ is open until March 22, 2011:
