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!

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.

Helloooo, it's June again and this year feels different ...
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.

Byebye Sweden, quarantine, weird dove noises ... I bustle in the darkroom, splashing eco developers ... but now I have to go out to the country for a few days. Jittering elderberries! And then comes the rain to my city. June, I love you!

Forest, Braunschweig, lake, heat, developing with henna and rhubarb, a big ice cream ... and then the shit comes and changes my life.

The days blur, the nights are almost light, I don't know how many days are left in June, it sometimes seems endless to me, but it's not. No, not at all. I feel in between universe-ish.

A June feeling with green-blue, a burrito blackbird, lots of train journeys, rhubarb and rabbits, Tuttifruttol and thoughts about hanging around.

All I can think about now is double exposures; the next two days are flying by in a blur, it’s getting more tropical by the day, people are dropping dead, and on the 30th, the last day of June, Maia’s coming and we’re going to dance June away! We’ll dance away the exhaustion, the wildness, the self-exposure and multiple lives!
