Last night in Exarcheia

Last night we went to the launch of WE NEED, presented by BETTINA,
at a semi abandoned club that I seen a million times from the outside
but never went in.
there were dark ponds on empty floors
grotto lamps with upside-down forest couches
manequinns
musical chairs + clothes
Dimitris was red
Selana was chatting
Aurora We Need
Meletis and the Bettina Boys
and later on Voltnoi played some great 90's techno,
perfect Faz revival

Dolmabahçe Revisited

Dolmabahçe is the palace on the eastern side of the Bosphorous.
The garden is amazing, I could go again and again


I walked down from Taksim square
Cute guard with podium
Dolmabahçe is basically the Dubai of 18th century, the Sultans were all hiring foreign architects to make it all fabulous and non-Ottoman, in a Ottoman way of course

Minaret under repair
the palm tree is friends with elegance
A clock thinks about becoming a building,
maybe sometime
trees behind a wall
a wall that looks like its not there

a door leading to the sea,
and one more
(I've blogged this before but I cant get enough)

Walking around a screentree

One more walking around video, and this time Lichtplein is playing inside the screen. ScreenTree is a piece I did for the SuperNeen exhibition in Milan, and then a year later a video about it.
as audio we used "Untitled" by Amon Tobin & Kid Koala

Prop Cemetery

Recently we visited a prop warehouse, and it looked like the place
where theatrical ideas go to die.

a city
some columns
something sphericalsomething lyrical
a bit of venice
a hole in the floor
where you can see what's below

Rescue Dawn

Last night we watched Werner Hertzog's "Rescue Dawn",
starts off with great explosions



Christian Bale
