Playing Tourist In My Own City

Red Snow

Fuji color sheet film from the back. Coffee can pinhole photo.

View From Michis Window

This was an old colour film … I crammed it into my curry pinhole camera, set it on Michis windowsill .. et voilà: a weird photo of Berlin’s back yard through summer flowers!!

How I love what I do! People google how to develop long dead film formats, colour and black&white, that no film lab would develop any more because film gelatine parts might peel off …. well, they find me. I do it!
Recently I had an Agfa CNS 110-20 – small format colour negative film which I developed carefully and got at least some pale images with some beautiful mistakes … perhaps condensed fluid that had settled on the film layer over the years … the decades??
Anyway … I save images and I love it.

Corner Cat

2 Brothers

This was a legendary night! I know they would recognize each other! My two brothers: my real one that I love so much forever and my brother in Super 8 Film, Paolo from LA that I love as well for film spirit and big heart! They met! Tonight! In person! At Pizza! At wine! The world held its breath for a glimpse and then kept on shaking as usually. Good feeling!

Happy Easter Everybunny!

Barbie, It’s Spring!

Days Like This

There are days like this. Magic in a way. Let me try to explain. The sky opens and the sun sweeps all winter lints away. Suddenly you see clear: dirt, poisonous souls, capitalist patterns, squeaky brakes … and all I can say is that I want to play another game. I mean no game. I rely on my network. Close doors, open windows. Stay tuned!

Across The Universe

Another 9 hour working day and I rode my bike to the Sparkasse at Kottbusser Tor to get me some pizza money and then when I left there was a gentle man who opened the door for me and I gave him some cents and then there was a bunch of young bearded men turning up looking ambitious and hipsterish-soft carrying coffee Thermoskannen and cups with them asking the homeless (I guess) person if he wanted a fresh coffee and he nodded and I nodded too because at that very moment I perfectly knew what it’s all about.

Agfa Life

Isn’t it funny, I thought, how your life looks like an old Agfa photography if you use the right filter on your Lumix, but it wasn’t just a filter, actually I had none, it was just a long exposure (about 10 seconds) – it was a spirit that set me and Judith in the right light of kitchen – pre-spring – wine lust – friendship mood/mode!

Spring! Eggs!

Bunnies lay their eggs! Chicken too! Supermarkets are full of them! Say hello to spring! It’s coming!

Lumière And Bones

Winter, cold, grey light, crazy films – it’s Dresdner Schmalfilmtage again!
My favourite place is the bar, this year enlightened with cineastic lumière light letters! My second favourite place is of course the cinema … and my favourite film this year is Hungry Bones, a film about calcium pills, stars, universe, self consuming body desease – told in a very beautiful way using pixelation, time-lapse, self-animation and drawings. Inspiring!
