Numeric Intelligence





I don't lie when I say it is one of the best exhibitions I've seen. Very clever and consistent and beautiful. Worthily reflecting the MMM cosmos.

20



Today I grab my last chance to see the Maison Martin Margiela exhibition in Munich. And of course, I will also get my copy of the catalogue because it is so nice and white. The Munich shop, by the way, is amazing. Who's gonna buy me the black mirror pants?

Shredded




Ripped denim, we heard this song before. If you ask me, ripped shirts are much nicer, less predictable and very intriguing.

Masters




I am a slave to these paintings. I am more into modern and minimal art but even I cannot always elude the classic and old.

Fasten Your Taste Belts

Mekado - Wir Geben 'Ne Party

Germany for Eurovision Song Contest 1994. Cow printed chairs, plastic shower curtain coats with flowers, bold colours and squeaking voices. These were the good old times.

Hero Worship

Part 5: Bon Jovi





I never really liked him, but now that I found these pictures I do. Hilarious and disturbingly sexy. Somehow he also reminds me of the kitten pictured below.

Verlangen



Photos Gilles-Marie Zimmermann

The tension between lust and disguised sexuality provoked me to compose these contradictory and yet congruent images. Both marked by the gesture of surprise.

Going through magazine archives, rapidly flipping the pages until your attention is attracted by a rash glimpse. Going back and enjoying each image in all its details. This is the result of one of these moments.

Concave Attack



Photos King Goji

Horst loves Godzilla. Mesmerizing plastic kitsch. Weird body transformations and metamorphoses. Silly ugliness bearing inner beauty. Ridiculous toys quoting teenage boy's phantasies.

Explicit Structure





Who would've thought my beloved Brigitte has somthing in common with Linda and Christy? I know exactly why I am wearing my super bleached Brigitte Nielsen memorial blonde. She is just unreachable high and deserves admiration. Believe me.
