architecture love pt. 5

I got a crush on bauhaus architecture since long. 

they were so ahead of their time, it impresses me over and over again. I therefor just loved being there, in dessau, walking through the meisterhäuser, marveling at the colourful interior. have you ever seen, what happened to the meisterhäuser in the 1940s? this. intentionally.

street photography of 2001

in the early 2000s I asked people on the street for a project to take a picture of them wearing springerstiefel. just came across these pictures and the first thing I realized was how different berlin looks today.
(besides - unlike back then - I really like the series now, especially #1 and #4.)

all of a sudden

the end of 2013 is so close. only one more week of work, then christmas and good bye.

weekends turned pretty valuable again. all the time I wish the days had more then 24 hours or at least I needed less sleep. on weekdays I leave the house by twenty past seven to return eleven hours later. but it´s all right (most of the time).

and so the famous issue called "compatibility of family and work" turns out to be just a big time rivalry. just, well... lifetime task though.

sunday morning

and awake alone. how the hell could that happen?

old pictures, new life.

is it raining in your mouth?

it rained all day long and I was lucky enough to get a perfect example of demonstration of power today. urgh, what an ugly situation. urgh, how I wish I had felt stronger. urgh, urgh.

too tired to prepare myself for tomorrows last oral exam. looking at barefoot pictures instead.

storefronts

(you bet I love how they made CRETIDO out of "Creative Tischdekorationen". it´s just perfectly absurd. and I really wonder, whether they pronounced "creative" english or german...)

unterwegs

(in mehrfacher hinsicht.)

the feeling when it all works out

being observed

...depends on by whom, right?
I wonder, if this will be the no.1 question of our generation; weather we accept to live in a surveillance society or not.

(not so very off-topic as they want to watch, to watch each other: love this live version of dance anthem of the 80s. she. is. so. sweet.)

on hair

what kind of society do we live in, that tells you that hair ist beautiful at a certain part of your body and it is ugly at another part of your body? isn´t that just obviously stupid?

my own private arbeitstag

spending my days at the library. two more weeks to come. status quo: page 71 \o/.

(having someone (no, sometwo) visiting you on your lunchbreak every day and you can ride home to is just one of the best experiences I´ve ever made. and having the opportunity to spent hours and hours just thinking and writing never felt so good, I guess.
I always thought there must be a connection between the awareness of the quality of your work and the evaluation of your working time. but at the moment, it is just the joy of DOING it - irrespecitve of the results.)

as I had been successfull with auto-suggestion the last time I decided to spent my money for the original watch by hannafaktur this time. what a good decision!

büdchen

btw, kiosk is etymologically related with my surname.

and so it is june

it will be called the year of the strange weather.
note to self: the thesis won´t be written by itself.

I'm weaker than a man should be

I bought a second hand t-shirt the other day. on front of it you can read "sugar pie honey bunch". it somehow sounded familiar, but I just wasn´t sure weather it meant something specific or not.
then I found this! great! video!
 
you bet I am a proud t-shirt owner by now.

(I´d love to do this performance by my own one day. if you want to join or see me dance like the four tops, let me know - I come a-running to you!)

architecture love pt. 4

yesterday we´ve been to the baudenkmal bundesschule bernau north of berlin. really impressive, really liked the structures, materials and ideas behind the ensemble.

Or lack thereof.

berlin in retrospect again.
offtopic: I like this project and could say nearly the same things about book(shelve)s;
and crappy ceramic sculptures.

berliner dom 2002

still again berlin; yet everything so much seems to have changed, developed, grown (up). back then I felt vulnerable and unsecure, but also confident and sometimes even cool. I was so aware of the fact that I was living in berlin... and I still can´t reconstruct the reasons why the possibility of studying at the humboldt university felt like an undeserved privilege which I was ashamed of and with which I struggled for quite a long time.
I got one really sad memory connected with the neptunbrunnen, that you can see on the last picture (the fountain, not the memory)... well.

we were young

we still are. that´s what is interesting about it.
