“I was going along a dusty highroad
when the mountain
across the way
turned me to its silence:
oh I said how come
I don’t know your
massive symmetry and rest:

to be
lodged here with
a changeless prospect, risen
to an unalterable view:
so I went on
counting my numberless fingers.”
Travel-Log Archive, Entlang der Gräben
Quite some time ago, I accompanied the writer Navid Kermani on his trip trough the east of europe. He did some research for his book Entlang der Gräben, and I stuck along and took some pictures. The gallery below is a chronological archive of my pictures, it is a sort of diary, with very little overreaching contextual correlation.

“We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us.”

“Keep close to Nature’s heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean. None of Nature’s landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild.”

Extranational Assembly
in Travel
Some days ago I was invited by the artist Jerszy Seymour to the swiss alps in order to document The Extranational Assembly, a happening he initiated because he wants to redefine the way we think about nations and nationality.

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
