tokyo train tales.

living on the edge of this huge metropolis, commuting has become a very central aspect of my daily life. it feels like half of my day is consumed by sitting standing in the train. in this small place, people are forced to share a part of their life's time with strangers. there's no escape, so to speak. i find this kind of confrontation very interesting, and my mind starts to fabricate hundreds of stories around the fate of those people.

internet.

don't let go.

meeting fischli / weiss.

last week, i had the great honor of spending a day with Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss in Kanazawa.


the video below shows the first part of their most famous achievement, i'm sure you have seen it before:

 there currently is an exhibition dedicated to their work in the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, and i was invited to the opening ceremony / party as one of the few 'inofficial' guests. thanks to my cousin who is a close friend of the artist duo.

mori tower.

i just went to the Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills today, some pics turned out to be interesting so i'm posting them right away for once :)

keitai.

so i bought myself a sexy new jap-phone on the third day here.

this blog.

hello^^

welcome to my blog! it's the first time i'm doing this kind of thing, so i'm kindof excited... :)

for those who don't know me yet, i wrote something like an introduction on this page, but it's not very informative. the best way to get to know me is to follow this blog, i promise.

as some of you know, i'm leaving for a 5-month stay in Japan very soon. this seems to be a great moment to start blogging. i always wanted to do this. publishing my very own photos along with my thoughts and experiences in text form. how cool is that?

i call this my photo_graphic diary because, well, it is.

i want to post photos and other visual media here that i don't show on my deviantArt-account. and i want to post texts here that simply don't fit into a tweet or two.

so, please be looking forward to the updates! thanks for reading, and see you soon :)
