Schon wieder nach Berlin


Schon WIEDER in Berlin.

The 2oth century city (die STADT): from cabaret to catastrophe. And back.

The grotesquely ugly healing heart of Germany scabbily punctuated by overgrown vacant lots. INDUSTRIEROMANTIK? A favorite concept of mine.

To old to be free, too new to be confident. Too new to be.

Flatened. Divided. Neaded outwards into unnatural forms. Without a center (kein STADT MITTE).

Side note: my €18:85 tuna sits like a tiny blemish, lost in the white porcelain. Thank god for the free bread.

The naughty child who bit off more than it could chew, now too scared to grow up and take it's place in the world least it have the shit smacked out of it again. Stuck forever a petulant teenager. Not a grumpy one but one you never see because she is OUT working out who she is going to be when she GROWS UP.


New and old. Beauty and confusion. Money and poverty. West but mostly east.


I like Berlin. There is ROOM to MOVE.
