Äste so karge
Zwei Blätter fliegen davon,
weit in die Ferne.

My first attempt to write an haiku, inspired by Daniel’s one. Comments welcome!

The WFI ball 2003 was going to take place last Saturday and for most of us it’s the most important event. In the beginning I was not that sure if I want to go, nevertheless I organized as the years before everything beforehand for our group (Steph, Rob, Marc and Christian). But it turned out to be a quite funny glamorous night. See some pics here!

The Sunday morning started with a “matinee” – I went to the Audi Forum to see François Ozon’s “Swimming Pool” – the first movie I saw from him, but for sure not the last. Sure it is a more quiet movie with not that much action and not much thrill, though it is supposed to be an erotic thriller, but the pictures with the atmosphere created made it special. Here is just one of Ludivine Sagnier:

Afterwards we had brunch at the Moevenpick – so it was a very relaxing weekend!

This Friday it took me to Munich, a place I have not been for a while – I guess it has been the first time since autumn 2002, except for one interview, which I do not want to remember.
I went to see some parts of the theatre festival Spielart. In particular to the video installation called “The Rite of Spring” (“Swieto wiosny”) of Katarzyna Kozyra, one of the most famous contemporary artists in Poland, who had recently shown the same exhibition in Zacheta Gallery of Art, Warsaw. Based on the known French ballet it shows on six screens in a circle old ugly people dancing or better moving to the music, where in this circle on three screens a similar old ugly woman is dancing like crazy and finally falls dead to the ground.

The second exhibition was the “Dream Operator” by Miriam Reeders who performed it herself and I got a chance to speak to her. She is from the Netherlands and was invited to show her comic strip about how to dream in Munich. The location, the Gasteig, was at this evening relly busy with people and many took the opportunity to see the 5-min-event. Not that spectacular and shocking than the first one, but nice too look at.
