Many of you wrote me that you would have liked to join, but unfortunately Berlin is not everybody’s hometown. Here is some proof that I didn’t make the whole thing up.
I took some of the shots myself, many of the pictures below were taken by my father and the lovely Andrea though.
270kg of frames … thanks to Magnus for helping to carry the stuff.
Photographs + Passepartouts + Frames + Perfectionism = quite some work
Finished!
Everything neatly wrapped up again for the transport
And in the end, there is also a good side to the fact that German law forces me to publish my private adress in the impressum:
Long lost old friends can find it and write me postcards.
you can only move as fast as those in front of you …
… unless you’re first
All the laborious pasta-consumption of the last years – all the devout worshipping of His Noodly Magnificence – was not in vain.
HE hath toucheth the internet and bestowed it with hith, I mean his meatballsy wisdom.
Behold!

RAmen!
A short explanatory graphic for the non-pastafarians out there, who have not yet understood that there are stripper factories and beer volcanos in paradise, that every Friday is a religious holiday, and that worshipping pirates will decrease global warming:
“I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution.”
[...]
“It is for this reason that I’m writing you today, to formally request that [our] alternative theory be taught in your schools, along with the other two theories. In fact, I will go so far as to say, if you do not agree to do this, we will be forced to proceed with legal action. I’m sure you see where we are coming from. If the Intelligent Design theory is not based on faith, but instead another scientific theory, as is claimed, then you must also allow our theory to be taught, as it is also based on science, not on faith.”
[...]
“Furthermore, it is disrespectful to teach our beliefs without wearing His chosen outfit, which of course is full pirate regalia. I cannot stress the importance of this enough [...] The concise explanation is that He becomes angry if we don’t.”

(Seriously though, who wrote that dictionary entry?)
Somebody found out my horrible secret and painted it on a building in Berlin.
( Actually, I just found this photograph on my camera. Thanks! )
Maybe I should go out more often. The world looks nice, from my balcony.
“pour Eiko
Je veux …
I want to meet you!”
Thank you, Ms. Nothomb. For the nice dedication in Robert des noms propres, and also for switching to English while writing it. My French is very bad indeed.
I only read your book Sulphuric Acid so far, but it’s among the best I’ve read this year. I’ll continue with Robert de noms propres as soon as I get my hands on the English version.
Funny:

Not funny:
I wrote this programme.
