Nossa oliveira

Quando visitamos a toscana compramos duas oliveiras "olivetree
"
Uma ficou na casa da minha mae e a outra meu primo trouxe com a
bagagem de mão.
Apos seis meses de aclimatação ele fez agora um monte de galhos e
folhas, Fofo.

When I was....

...twenty one, before I had to do military service I traveled through the sahara alone with my motorbike. I am still proud of me that i did that since it took a lot of courage to leave home alone. I learned to trust my own opinion, you could even
call it instincts. Before I left I went to my parents house, where a friend of them told me: "You will be killed, most certainly! My son, let me tell you: last year a good friend of mine ended up being raped in prison on a trip like that. Dont go!"
I became insecure and asked? " where did that happen?" hoping to
adjust my route acordingly. He said: " In bolivia, or somewhere around
there.
Thats why i am so stubborn.

I went to see the documentary movie about Cildo Meireles, a brazilian contextual artist.

"See this link for more about it."
I loved the stuff he does.
Also, I think the iPhone makes great photos with it's lousy camera.

The lot is marked as 1995. Probably bought still in zurich to lubricate some army stuff. It was standing in all my houses and there is still some left. It is a childhood memory to use it. Its smell reminds me of kilchberg, wet dogs on a hunting day in the alsace with my father. Today i used it to lubricate our frontgate.

thats why I was born

Yes My brother and I where born on a rainy day. However my mother, being a cook, was stil working in the restaurant. The restaurant was my grandfathers and mainly served lunch to the working class of the industrial quarters of Zurich. SInce "Das Parfüm" os Patrick Süsskind we do know, that being born in special conditions leaves marks. Since we where for a long time kept in a salad bowl and decorated with cranberries to avoid flies I developed a deep aversion to cranberries and rarely ever eat salad. I, however, had made a salad bowl for myself once an adult which lifes in my garden house and where I retreat sometimes to meditate. p
