Back in 2015 I had the chance to visit the ICC in Kyoto. An amazing building by the architect: Sachio Otani. The conference center is located inside a beautiful landscape with a lake to one site. The design of the building is based on the Japanese Metabolism movement.
The interior invites to time traveling to the 60s + 70s. Even after more than 50 years of constant use, the building and its furnishings are in very good condition. I published a gallery with 48 slides.
Symphony of a traveller – Polaroid Edition 2024. A new photo sequence with photos from Egypt, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Morocco and Vietnam. The everyday is staged in all its strangeness, far away from the mainstream. I have published a set of nine Polaroid photos in my gallery.
Since the question keeps coming up. Is there a work by Banksy in Berlin? More than 20 years ago, hardly anyone noticed when he was officially part of an exhibition and painted directly on the wall. And then the painting got its very own story.
The original mural by Banksy ‘Every picture tells a lie’ was created as part of the exhibition ‘Backjumps – Volume:1’ in 2003. After the end of the exhibition it was painted over for the subsequent exhibition. Eight years and many layers later, the work was uncovered again by a restorer commissioned by Brad Downey and presented under the title: ‘What Lies Beneath’, 2011 (Materials: restored/extracted ‘Banksy’). During the exhibition there was speculation about the sale of the work. To prevent this, the artist Brad Downey destroyed the painting with a hammer and chisel. He took the splinters and thus Banksy’s work home with him. Eight years later, in his exhibition ‘Brad Downey – Slow Motion Disasters’ at the same venue, Haus Bethanien in Berlin, parts of the painting returned as ‘Flying Copper’. Whether the story will continue remains to be seen… Three photos of the wall in Bethanien from 2011, as well as the ‘Flying Copper’ can be seen here in the photo gallery.
