If you like the sound of a banjo, you should listen to the music of Jacken Elswyth. She is a London-based banjo player who focuses on traditional melodies, their further developments and improvisations for clawhammer banjo.

Me, one year ago, in front of some photos from my "Garage" series at the Julius Neu Gallery in Hamburg.

Me standing in a gallery space wearing a brown (actually, it is green.) jacket, dark sweater, and scarf. Behind him, six framed photographs show cars in parking garages and urban settings, arranged in a neat grid on a white wall.

City-Hof, Hamburg
City-Hof was a 1958 high-rise complex in Hamburg by Rudolf Klophaus. An early example of postwar modernism, it was vacated in 2017 and demolished from April 2019 for redevelopment.

Street-level view of a closed storefront with faded yellow curtains drawn behind large glass windows. The display window on the left is empty, with bare wooden shelves and peeling surfaces. The façade appears worn and utilitarian, evoking abandonment, stagnation, and a quiet, neglected urban setting.

Nach dem Reformherbst friert die Zeit ein: Plastikdeckel klappern lose, Motoren feiern Feuer, Hymnen ordnen das Wir. Fortschritt als Nachstellung. Die CDU betrachtet Moderne wie ein Museum, das nur rückwärts öffnet.

Arthur Schopenhauer:

Die wohlfeilste Art des Stolzes hingegen ist der Nationalstolz. Denn er verrät in dem damit Behafteten den Mangel an individuellen Eigenschaften, auf die er stolz sein könnte, indem er sonst nicht zu dem greifen würde, was er mit so vielen Millionen teilt.

I saw this photograph today at Philip Montgomery's exhibition "American Cycles" at Phoxxi in Hamburg and cannot take my eyes off it.
A close-up black-and-white image of a distressed person holding a phone, a tear visible on their cheek as light cuts across their face. „In the »detox« wing of the Montgomery County Jail in Dayton, Ohio, a woman cries while on the phone with a family member. Incarcerated individuals are required to receive »reasonably adequate« care from state prison officials. However, those with opioid dependence are not always provided with methadone or other recovery drugs, resulting in severe withdrawal symptoms.“ Phoning Home, Montgomery County Jail, Dayton, Ohio, 2018 ©Philip Montgomery

If you are in Hamburg you should visit Philip Montgomery’s „American Cycles“ exhibtion at www.deichtorhallen.de/de/ausstellu...

In my opinion, this is the most touching exhibition in #Hamburg this year.

Watching this staged milking setup makes me think about how we turn everyday labor into spectacle. How far most of us are from the sources of what we consume?

A staged display featuring the lower half of an artificial cow with molded udders, a metal bucket placed below, a small wooden milking stool, and visible cords on a red floor, emphasizing its constructed, museum-like setup.

Instead of showing off your Spotify Wrapped, wrap up Spotify and chuck it in the bin.

A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance.

If you have ever lived in Berlin, this account may bring back some memories.

@slowberlin.bsky.social Thank you very much for the posts about Obst+Gemüse and Café Westphal. I spent many hours there.

I’m not scared #AI will take my job. I’m scared it could distort #society so much that #working in it stops feeling livable.
