My New Catalogue Portrait!
No Smoking
This time a bit more highres, “Map” at inSPIRACJE.art.pl. More pics to come ….
7-10 Millionen
This picture looks like a 1997 (compuserve-) GIF but was actually taken today by a mobile phone cam and then send via MMS (probably compressed again) to me. “Map” is up and running! It marks out what Google considers to be the center of the polish city Sczcecin. From Berlin it’s just a 2h trip by train and by Brandenburgticket (35,- / 5 people) very cheap to go there. Think about it! inSPIRACJE festival !
