found items in the snow/ hittade föremål i snön

















Hittat i snön på väg till jobbet.
Vilka stod här och delade fem stycken Pripps Blå en kall vinternatt på bron över spåret mot stan? Vad var det för slags sammankomst?

Found in the snow on my way to work on a cold wintermorning.
I wonder, who has been here sharing five beers on the railwaybridge a dark and glistering winternight. What kind of meeting was that?

Irmela picked us up at Tegel, airport of Berlin, in an orange Volkswagen Bus.

I immediately got a feeling of being captured in the backseat of some time machine by hippie people into hippie time in hippie land, but as we rolled into the former still greyish east Germany and the forest began to grow on us I knew we were travelling into the Grim land, the land of Hansel and Gretel and there would be a house built by brown ginger cakes and a witch, eine Hexe!, waiting for us and I had no bread crumps nor white small stones in my pocket.
But alas, the Grim brother disappeared and we arrived to the renovated building memorial Meyer Wittver Bau , a house telling other both dark and lighter stories from the past.
And the hippies, yes they all came back for a music gig lasting almost into midnight to for ever drown the sound of marching boots, Stiefeln or stöveltramp as we say in Sweden.
And just to bury them further more ( the ghosts of the warriors and evil) we all signed a paper committing us to fight for the human rights for all of us, even you with disabilities, the right to make both good and bad choices as drinking six beers the same evening.

Meyer Wittwer Bau Bernau

"Die von Hannes Meyer und Hans Wittwer konzipierte
und im Mai 1930 fertig gestellte Bundesschule
des ADGB in Bernau bei Berlin ist ein Werk
 des berühmten Bauhauses in Dessau.
Das Bauhaus wird weltweit als die bedeutendste
Kunstschule des 20. Jahrhunderts geschätzt.
Ihre Initialwirkung für eine neue Sicht auf künstlerische
 und pädagogische Prozesse in Kunst, Architektur
 und Design reicht bis zur Gegenwart."

It´s kind of chilly in this corridor,
concrete, steel, bricks, wood and glass
all materials showing off
lots of light through those big windows,
is this a cold building or has it got a warm heart
maybe it´s the people who must fill the house
with their warmth, dreams, hope and new memories.

Mondrian look alike, but the coulors are guiding me to the right stairway,
other doors other coulors


Is this Mondrian or is it not?


It's a thin line between beauty and boring
between nothing and more is less

Brandenburger Tor an enchanted evening in Berlin

Here we are a magical night
swarming around the honeycoulored Brandenburger Tor
like bees in the darkness.
