I was picked by Lomography* to be a LomoAmigo a few months ago, as part of a promotional campaign.
Given two cameras and asked to basically take pictures of anything and everything.
boy, was that fun!
here's more or less what i came up with!
(sadly, a decent amount of photos was destroyed. darn those films! they rip, get exposed to light,
they have feelings, like all real things do!)

*(the company that owns the Lomo brand these days)

A few months ago I met Paulina Plachecka in Berlin, she was working on a short film and was looking for a song to accompany it and we chose this one.

i think we initially met when i was busking outside of Mauerpark (such beautiful things used to happen in the summer)

The video is not currently available online, but you can download it here.

:)

I was sent on tour to support the Hamburg trio 1000 Robota.

first time as an opening act. it was certainly... somethin'.

You may find some pictures here.

:) 

last month i participated for the first time in an exhibition. a proper one that is.

most everyone was a musician or friends with the musicians, but overall it was a lovely opening. i didn't get to stay longer on the closing day, but i popped up briefly early, too early to see anyone really.

I had only three small drawings. at some point one of them disappeared and was found later behind somebody else's work on another wall... how curious!

I'm playing one of the bad guys... (naturally). with vague, but currupt intentions!

It was shot at a beautiful hall at LA54 in Berlin, one of those spaces rented to artists for studios and a whole bunch of kids showed up, got made up and dressed up and in a few hours this is what came out. 

here it is:

A couple of years ago i was in Vienna with The Cheeses and met the designer Pebelle, who makes gorgeous tie-dye tights. she gave me a pair. i no longer possess it unfortunately.

here's what she wrote recently about it.

For the month of November.

but since the website wasn't online then...

here it is now instead.

Directed by the Paris-based Mathilde Nègre. 

shot in one day and edited in a record time!
