Paradies und Hölle
können eine Stadt sein.
Für die Mittellosen

Walking in a industrial landscape: NeroGiardini Chaussures

A view on an abandoned industrial area with a billboard advertising for NeroGiardini Chaussures

“Soll ein Schuh nicht drücken,
muß man sich anschicken,
und überall das erste Mal
sich selber hinbemühen
ihn an den Fuß zu ziehen,
denn oft fehlts an Geduld,
den Schuh recht anzufassen,
den Fuß darein zu passen.”

(L. von Beethoven in Soll ein Schuh nicht drücken)

SOUBRY is talking! The Lord is calling!

“There’s a very old expression
Called talking to the wall
And it means
You get no answers
Just stone silence

But walls have ears
And you can hear me
When I call”

(J. Armatrading in Talking to the wall)

“I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
There are no words that need to be said
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Blues wrapped around my head”

(Bob Dylan in Standing in the doorway)

Les offres révolutionnaires vont marquer leur temps

“Time passes slowly up here in the daylight
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
Like the red rose of summer that blooms in the day
Time passes slowly and fades away”

(Bob Dylan in Time passes slowly)
