Shuk Ha'Carmel Berlin

Sunday in Charlottenburg, Berlin. As part of the Jewish culture days there was a Shuk Ha'Carmel in the Fasanenstreet in front of the jewish community center. Many people visited the market.

Sonntag in Charlottenburg, Berlin. Es gab ein Shuk Ha'Carmel auf der Fasanenstrasse, gegenüber dem jüdischen Gemeindehaus. Es gab viele Leute.

There was live music too.

Es gab auch Live-Musik.

It was also an opportunity to visit the jewish community center. As I learned from the photos inside, there used to be a synagogue at the same place before. The Portico is what remains from it. The rest of the building was built at the end of the 50's.

Es war auch möglich das jüdische Gemeindehaus zu besichtigen. Ich habe durch Photos erfahren, dass es früher eine Synagoge an der gleiche Stelle gab. Der Portikus ist noch übrig geblieben. Das Gemeindehaus wurde Ende der 50ger Jahre gebaut.

Featured in UPPERCASE journal website

The journalist Martin Connelly and me did a long journey through Newfoundland in other to meet a 95 years old Fisherman. Martin did an interview and I did some portraits of him.

I am very proud of our work together. I will never forget our boat trip. In Newfoundland you can travel for kilometers without seeing anybody. Maybe because I grew up in a big city and I had not much contact with wild nature, I felt like a kid again in an adventure. It was a wonderful experience.

The interview with my sketches will come in the issue #11 . Meanwhile you can read the introduction as contributors in the UPPERCASE website

Mokkabar in Kreuzberg

You might think that I only jump from one Cafe to another but I have not found the ONE yet.

I like this drawing, it shows something about the place and something about the people that visit the place without showing the place itself.

The ensamble
Das Emsemble

Robert Gallinowski hosted the show with a lot of humor.
Mit sehr viel Witz hat Robert Gallinowski moderiert.

Dagmar Manzel & Tal Balshai
It was so difficult to draw Dagmar Manzel. She can express so much with just a simple hand movement.
Es war sehr schwear Dagmar Manzel zu zeichnen. Sie kann so viel mit einer minimalen Geste ausdrücken.

The audience was thrilled by the music.
Das Publikum war begeistert.
