my friend wiebke and i spent a sunday at the botanical garden in berlin recently. these are some of the things i saw there:
finally a plant pretending to be some kind of flower between armies of cactei: strelitzia.
just as i thought “this plant looks like an elephant’s foot”, i read its name. that’s exactly what it’s called…
hurray for quails! ❤ ❤ ❤
i’m going to move in here. watch plants & quails 24/7. bye.
favourite activity on a sunday.
favourite place in the world.
sunday night blues in a long-distance relationship.
sometimes i try drawing in the dark. for example in theatre plays. if you’ve seen my blog entry from a couple of weeks ago these two drawings might look familiar (from a stanislaw lem-reading at staatstheater darmstadt):
most of the time drawings in a theatre look horrible, because it simply is too dark and you don’t see any lines. but it’s fun. plus these costumes were too good not to try (worn by the choir in “marat/sade” by peter weiß at deutsches theater berlin, directed by stefan pucher):
the same goes for these two styles from august strindberg’s “totentanz” (directed by daniel foerster, schauspiel frankfurt):
i also draw imprecisely at concerts sometimes. i didn’t see any lines while drawing the band friends of gas, the coloring was done later. friends of gas were the opening act for the robocop kraus at festsaal kreuzberg (i didn’t draw robocop though, too busy dancing):
last week i had the flu and on most of the days i was too weak to leave my flat except for little walks to the doctor or the pharmacy. exciting, i know. time to get back to basics. sleep. eat & drink. snot. and meet up with all those friendly beings around you that can help you feel better soon:
1. warm socks.
2. something warm around your neck.
3. ginger & honey or other kinds of tea like sage, fennel, liquorice root… (drink!)
4. stuff to help free your respiratory passages.
5. salt & hot water for steam inhalation. (yes, i have a bowl that almost fits my face.)
6. tissues!
7. creme to help your nose recover.
get well soon!
this week some photos instead of drawings. i took a walk in my hood one night last week, when snow and air were very nice and fresh.
check out beautiful westhafen at its best!
do you know this longterm building sight in moabit?
as you can clearly see: my good friends anne & david on their bikes (brave little monkeys in this slippery weather)…
back home in wedding…
cudos to my little lumix (DMC-LX7), my camerade. she did all the work, to be honest.
just some more people on the subways of berlin. and a bus.
