After watching a performance of Gogol’s classic “Diary of a madman” I have seen at least one precession of around 5,00 ‘Narran’ (loosely translated as Loonies) taking to the streets, dressing up, covering people in confetti straw and other mess. This i expect to see more of when i make it down to swizerland.
Meanwhile watching the cold figures huddled in jackets scuffle around the city streets, shuffle into markets, and subconsciously brush snow off the flanks of their jackets as they idly chat, ignoring the steam venting from mouth and nose like a dragon of old. Mix in a snowy fairytale landscape to complete the surreal look of this strange land.
I also discovered the works of Jonas Burger a Berlin based artist who actually did some good stuff in a modern style but with talent. Expressive fluoro colour paint bleeds from emotive and provocative figures.
I spent a week with my family in Germany which was great. Relaxing and comfortable with fun nights out or in.
