Indian Shopping Psychology – The Bhopal Mannequins

When talking about Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh in India most people first think about the gas tragedy of 1984. This was surely one of the worst industrial disasters ever. However, this blog story is about something completely different and probably nothing unique to Bhopal. The Indian Shopping Psychology – The Bhopal Mannequins. When strolling through Bhopal this November I came across the market area in Old Bhopal – Chowk Bazar. Knowing Old Delhi and its markets I was excited to […]

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin – Generalüberholt

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Bei einem Besuch werden alte Erinnerungen wach. Eigenes Studium vor 30 Jahren in diesen altehrwürdigen Gebäuden. Der Wiedererkennungseffekt ist groß. Äußerlich scheint sich nicht allzu viel geändert zu haben. Immer noch wird man in der Eingangshalle begrüßt von der symbolträchtigen Inschrift von Karl Marx im roten Mamor eingraviert an der Haupttreppe: „Die Philosophen haben die Welt nur verschieden interpretiert. Es kommt darauf an, sie zu verändern“. Die Flure sind gesäumt mit Fotografien zahlreicher Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen, darunter […]

Free Food Old Delhi

On a early morning stroll through Old Delhi I suddenly saw a large group of people squatting on the side of the street of Chandni Chowk and quickly putting food in their mouth. Another group of people was busy distributing the food and water as well as helping with some medical care on the street. Impressed by the routine handling of the whole procedure I approached a men with turban who seemed to be coordinating the whole activity. He told […]

Original Marseille – Off the Tourist Tracks

Hoping to escape the German winter I spent a week in Marseille in mid-April. The unexpected began even before departing to Marseille when we realized that despite having train tickets we had to take the car as France Railway was on strike. Moreover, it seemed like the sun was on strike too as Marseille was cold and rainy most of the days. But all these circumstances did not upset us, on the contrary, in search for interesting motives we walked 8-10 hours […]

Blurred

I begin with a display of some pics I took recently on the highway on my way back to Frankfurt. I thought of Joel Meyerowitz pics taken from inside the car (Joel Meyerowitz Retrospektive, CO Berlin, Why Color? until 11/3/18) even though I wasn’t really impressed by Mr M. results. Nonetheless, convinced that „bad weather“ creates exceptional motives I tried it myself through the front screen during snowfall and rain. It was great fun, some interesting forms and contrast evolved until my camera’s battery went low […]
