Almanci! Kahvehane Reloaded

50 years have past since the first Turk guest workers came to Germany to help with the German "Wirtschaftwünder". Now they are an integral part of this Society. However there are conflicts and contradictions between this two cultures becoming one.
This Parcour takes you in a tour through different Cafe houses and in every one you can see a short performance that tells you something.
I enjoyed walking through Kreuzberg with a plan in my hand that explains you how to find the next cafe. By the time you enter the next Cafe you have experienced all the smells and sounds of the hood. Life went on as usual there. Men played cards and games. This a place that you always wanted to enter but you never dare. You felt estrange surrounded by a language you don't understand.

Amsterdam Klezmer Band

The closing event of the "Jüdische Kulturtage" (Jewish culture days) in Berlin put every body to dance. I am very happy of this set of drawings, you can see clearly how the music influences my work.
In the first one we are just getting warm. The musicians still with their jackets and I using predominantly lines rather than color.

In the second drawing you can see how everything is getting loose.. the music is getting into the soul.
