Graknitti






Isn't this a beautiful thing that Kerstin, Karin and old graffiti writers Ångest and Ruskig have made? We stumbled upon this piece last Saturday in Hornstull when the Glenn, my mother and I took a walk in the sun (ending up with wine in the park and then some proper Chinese, yum!). Though the weeks have been rainy and dull, the weekends have brought us nothing but summer. Thank you!

Aj!

I got a bad tingle in my belly. Today is an important meeting, one of those No or Go thingies. I think us girls in the Nordic tango docu crew should get an award for perseverance.

The city that never ends











This Monday doesn't begin with a brisk walk along the shoreline with a coffee in my hand and a backpack full of computer stuff as was intended.

Instead it begins by my desk with the glamour of flat traveling, fueled by left over chanterelle pizza, through a snippet of the vast and weird landscape of Swedish author, designer and artist Eric Ericson (info in Swedish - info in English).

Would you like to slowly cruise through the 21 meters long drawing that is his Panorama Pocket, click here.

From the back of the book (my translation):

"How big can a city get? If you go through Los Angeles, Tokyo or Kairo, you get a sensation that the city never ends. The city seems to continuously keep on going."

Mind you, this pocket is old news, it's from 2005 and as far as I know out of print.

Fun for the Swedish speakers:
My friend Jocke keeps on banging out the best web.

Announcement:
This weekend skerriethings.com was registered.
A new flag with the Ella Empire logo loosely pushed down into earth.

To be continued.

These are the pale pastels








The last episode of the colourful exposé that was The abandoned brewery.
Next week my blogging goes back to how it once was.

Story:

This is where Heinrich, Berlin based urban exploration fan, takes all of his out of town:ers, "since it's so easy to break in". We had a beautiful day exploring nooks and corridors, halls and broken staircases, finally climbing up the roof drinking bubbles watching beautiful Berlin below us.

When Heinrich first found the brewery a year ago it was completely intact, with bottles and equipment in place, just like it was left in the 90's. Since then people posted its location online and it's been trashed, like Teufelsberg.

These are the colours brown and yellow















This is the last but one episode in my series The abandoned brewery.
I think you're now getting a sense of how big this place is - and this is only a bit!

(I quite look forward to getting into my normal blogging routine again!)

Thursday Hello!

Is the working week coming to an end, or will the weekend become an extension of the week? And pretty though it is, what is The limits of control really about?

Monday Hello!

This "morning" I've overslept and the Glenn is ill and staying at home - with me.
Outside it's sunny and I catch myself thinking: Holiday!

Let's see if busy me and leisure me can make a compromise...

This is the beginning of my week long series The abandoned brewery.

And this is where Heinrich, Berlin based urban exploration fan, takes all of his out of town:ers, "since it's so easy to break in". We had a beautiful day exploring nooks and corridors, halls and broken staircases, finally climbing up the roof drinking bubbles watching beautiful Berlin below us.

Urban exploration is secretive business indeed.
