Have you ever been to the German Football Museum in Dortmund? ⚽

I visited it last week and have written a short blog post about it. You can find it here: tamaragupper.de/general/2025...

A little spoiler: Robot soccer did not feature at all!

Have you encountered this tension in your writing process as well? How have you handled it?

This is amazing.

always remembering...

I went to see the Women's Champions League game between Eintracht Frankfurt and Barcelona yesterday. It was a great game with a good atmosphere among the 16.100 fans in the stadium (especially until the 48th minute). All in all - nearly as exciting as robot soccer!

Hello Bluesky! 😊 I wrote a blog post on Jeff Koons‘ statue "Apollo Kithara" currently on display at the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung in Frankfurt. The piece also discusses the interrelation between art and technology, and the fascination technological objects can evoke: tamaragupper.de/blog/
