hey there, i'm happy about the development we're in. i'm really
looking forward to work toghether in reality, as well. but i also like
this experiment to discuss on a blog. and now that we'r going to a
certain direction, i think it will work, if we just keep going.


i tried to draw a scheme:


MIND OF THE FLANEUR


here all the pictures, influences, words, people, are collected. in a
very open, stream of consciousness - way. nothing rational.


could be what we collect now!


CHARACTER OF THE FLANEUR


his way of clothing, his language, his eyes, arms, legs. his character
could also be a split personality. my thought was, that if we all
become a part of him, everyone of us would be part of him, a
multiculural, split, maybe therefore schizophrenic personality.
intersting? i do think!!


could be us!


HOMEBASE OF THE FLANEUR
the place he always returns to, he doesn't lead a nomadic life. he has
a base from where he starts for his strolls. it is also the place
where he brings his trophies back.


could be the exhibition place!




CITY OF THE FLANEUR
his surrounding, the landscapes, the architecture he knows, it is his
own culutural surrounding.
his hunting ground, his field of interest.
could we say that a flaneur is hunting for details, beauty, in well
known surrounding?




could be malmö, lund, zurich, or every other city!






THE UNKNOWN
the rest of the world, in which the flaneur is forced into the role of
a simple tourist, i guess.




could be the rest of the planet!






tell me what you think, maybe someone else wants to draw a scheme too?










lily: i love your films/videos. they are so silent but explosive at
the same time. wow.
and your thoughts about the desert, which is not offering the
perfect picture to your camera.
i recently saw a film by wim wenders called "tokyo-ga", in the
beginning he is sitting in an airplane and says someting like this:
"why is it not possible that we can take pictures with a camera, in
the way we sometimes open our eyes? just looking, not wanting to
explain."

jorun: tell us about your exhibition!

gaby: what happened to the altar of revenge? maybe you could tell us
this story, if it is not too private...
i think it can also be connected to the flaneur topic, in a
way...
plus: would you like to come to the port o' brien concert with
me, thursday 22nd in stall 6? they're great!
if we dress up as sailors the entrance is only 15 fr. :)

susanne: are you still with us?
