Berlin, 21.11.2020 Landart - Enchanting a piece of nature

This was the first day we met Farah when it was very cold. We noticed: winter is coming. We first went to the garden and looked around. For a place that appeals to us; for things with which we can build or create something. When we thought of natural materials, sand and the sea also came to mind; we had wanderlust for summer and sun, for the beach and for vacations.

Then it occurred to us that we could find all that in the house: sand and shells and coconut halves. Collected in foreign places and at times when traveling was still allowed and was a natural part of life. We started with a few selected shells. The horse was made of stone and therefore also a natural material, it offered itself as an inhabitant of our landscape. Then all of a sudden we had a half-empty box full of shells left over, but a rather barren landscape. We thought about how refugees feel when they are somehow left and don't have a place to call home. So we used all of them - all of them, without exception - and found a place for them. It wasn't as well ordered then, but we still felt much better about it. So every thing got a new place from us, and depending on which perspective you looked from, every corner was also somehow beautiful. Maybe that was Andy Goldworthy's point: to focus attention on a small section and to emphasize: this is important at this very moment, there is beauty, also - or perhaps precisely because it is fading. Notice it and carry this feeling with you, because you can transfer it anytime and anywhere by using what is available to you at the moment. Sometimes a little paint or a box full of shells is enough.

Berlin, 21.12.2020 Ramen challenge

We are doing it still, watching Chef's table on Netflix. One of the episodes inspired Tobi and Moritz to try self-made Ramen and I am just impressed and fortunate to be the one enjoying it. Anyone interested? We recommend Ivan Ramen (by Ivan Orkin).
