It's summer, it's 30 degrees C, it's tropical in Berlin. The swallows fly high above me singing. I do nothing except reading a book, eating ice cream, eating asparagus, drinking coffee, and now it's time for a beer!
Film festival, swimming pool, bike riding, rain worm, balcony life, cherries, ukulele, french fries, Heisenberg salad, airfield and so much more!
So much rain ... and swans and paper ships and champagne and strawberry developings and the very last asparagus of the year!
There's a hipster sitting down there, playing guitar, you can hardly hear him at all thanks god ... and what do I see there? Little greenies, super!
I do not remember exactly what I did when, I'm definitely extremely much in my darkroom in those days, cleaning up, developing, cleaning up for the next two workshops that are soon coming up and I just bustle like crazy. I love my darkroom!
A lot will change this year. From August 1st I will have a year off from my normal job. A sabbatical year. I am so excited and I know: I am doing it just right. I don't know exactly how I'm going to fund all of this, but I'll make it, I'm sure.
My sabbatical year is coming to an end and Corona is coronating us. I have time. What a luxury! I'm moving to friends in the country for 3 weeks, to a kind of self-made artist-in-residency. We're building a darkroom! I will live in the workshop, right in the vegetable and flower garden, and do research on anthotypes.
