Berlin!
/////////////////////////////////
//
somehow feels like home. Maybe cause it's travelling but people are still speaking german (most of the time).
Or maybe it's cause I've been there quite often in the last couple of years and i can almost navigate on my own...
Or it's because of the lovely people you know and meet there.
Let's start with a almost totally fucked up chili, ...almost.
It really was SO close...
and then a big "Thank you" to Isabelle for letting me stay at her place for full five days!
Of course, Berlin wasn't all vacation, fun and sunbathing. Actually, it was more like a work trip to give a talk at the symposium for Film and Information Technology of the Alcatel SEL foundation...about aesthetics in realtime movies. Talks are so booooring, see left picture below for proof.
And it turned out to be bad to forget my sweaters when stopping over at my parent's place... Cause i stayed even longer.
Thanks to Ahmet Emre Acar, who was kind enough to invite me to the SLI conference in the first place. And give me shelter when my stay was spontaneously prolonged to have another lecture at the HFF Potsdam Babelsberg (a german film university as depicted above).
Meet him and his lovely toys...
What follows are some impressions of pictures i took whilst walking through Berlin with Ahmet on a sooo lovely, warm Monday in July.
Enjoy! I did!
The conference/symposium/whatever was much more fun than i expected. Meeting Hugh was great, so was meeting Karin Wehn, Ingo and IAMSOBADWITHNAMESANDIDONTHAVEHISCARDHERENOW.
Plus all those people that approached me after my lecture to tell me how much they liked my work. Thank you very much. It's totally uplifting to hear that.
Btw, press coverage of the conference found its way to the "Stuttgarter Zeitung"...
Und ausserdem, was macht eigentlich mein Bruder so?
Na, er "wirkt" einfach...
