in one piece

Last night I was invited to participate in this cool networking event. Invitees are asked to present themselves with one piece, hence the name. I showed my SUICIDE BRACELET. Open to the interested public. A great evening. We decided to bring the event to Aachen soon!

blind date 2, event for matching people

IT WORKS. Our second event to connect creatives with industrialists, researchers, politicians and people from public administration was a great success.
Here are some impressions of participants awaiting the event and the actual speed dating in pitch dark:

walking westwall

12 of us plus designer and artist friends from belgium, rumania and the netherland did an art performance as part of the city of Aachen's across the borders festival. The Walking Siegfried Line. Luckily overcome in minutes by the Allies, the Westwall is one of the most obscure WW II borders. It's a very visual and physical barrier, but on foot you can walk through it without hesitation. We'll make it block the city's shopping streets. It's all about barriers in our heads.
