what you can look at , what you can't look at , what you can't understand , what surrounds me , what surrounds us.
Lucidity, reality, subjectivity.
Those that others call freaks, monsters. Those that others don't see. Those who inspire us.
Music
I do illegal downloading.

Heroes
Mac Gyver & Mr. T , and all those blond sluts on high heels with a gun.
About me: Loud outside the window, loud in the tramway, loud in the streets, loud in the parties. Keeping on making babies.
Loud in the parks, loud in the shopping mall, loud in the planes, loud at the police office. Keeping on complaining.
This weird athmosphere is degenerating us. They don't want to love them anymore.

At the next SLUM, we are pleased to announce that we will be screening rare early films of Christophe Chemin. This is meant to coincide with the current exhibition of Christophe, "Rats & Children," at the RISE Gallery here in Berlin -- if you haven't been yet, we strongly recommend checking this show out.
Christophe Chemin is also known as the co-star of Bruce Labruce's "Otto; or, Up With Dead People!" He designed the sets and costumes for the play "Daddy" by Travis Jeppesen, which premiered at the HAU Theater in June under the direction of Ron Athey. Chemin is currently in post-production for a feature film he directed that will be premiered later this month at the Jack Smith Festival.
Hello and a good evening/morning to you. ^__^ I just watched "Otto" together with some friends... to be honest it wasn't such a good experience for nobody really seemed to care for the action/the whole stuff which happens behind the action. It's ok for me cause I still love the movie. It is something very special to me... all the beauty and the emotions which can be found inside it. Just wanted to say that and that I'm very thankful that you played the part of Otto... which made it even more special. Lovely greetings from Potsdam and a good time to you :)

Please join us tomorrow (Wed, 10 June) for the opening of »Black Box«, a room-filling installation containing works by Benjamin Laurent Aman (FR), Sébastien Maloberti (FR) and Marcel Türkowsky (GER).
Benjamin Laurent Aman invited the two other artists to help him actualize the as-of-yet theoretical conception of the »Black Box«.
The three artists approach the multi-layered subject »Black Box« as experimenters, thereby creating a system of tests in which events can be followed, but which also lends itself to substantiating different modus operandi. Oscillating between possible and impossible implementations, they transform notions of reality and illusion into a dimension of functional describability, while revealing the character of the exhibition space as an in-between place.
The artistic media used in this range from photographs and drawings to installation and sound. Not least of all, the exhibition is marked by a moment of ignorance, in which none of the artists are aware of each other’s intentions and strategies.
We're looking forward to see you at the Opening Reception on Wednesday, 10 June.
