los angeles
my family and i visited my brother paul in los angeles to attend his graduation from calarts.
in the belly of the beast – nyc
my family and i met my brother paul in new york city to see him perform at the calarts east coast showcase. i made a lil travel video and took a lot of photos.
the experience was bizarre, as i had this strange feeling that i had already been there. i recognized places and streets, feeling like i had seen them before. because i had. i had seen them in films, videos, photos, and other media. clearly, because of the long standing cultural (propaganda) dominance of the u.s. empire.
walking through the streets of the city, my heart was broken again and again. on every corner of every street, a human with no place to go, living with no roof over their heads. a person whose ‘american dream’ had been crushed by the realities of a completely desolidarised society. the end stage of capitalism.

eisbach surfers
the eisbach (ice river) in munich has a long history of being used for surfing. locals told me that the tradition started when a rail was installed at the bottom of the river in order to oxygenate the water for fish. the wave caused by this attracted so many surfers that the sport was banned for some time. recently though, the ban was lifted, which caused an active surfing scene to spring back up in landlocked munich. even in december when i took these pictures, surfers were lining up to jump in the ice-cold water.
