----- day 2 - take a day off ---- edited 3 months and 4 days ago -----

No sleep at all.
Outside Kassel was preparing itself - sounds waking up - for the new day and I hit the streets.
When I arrived at the Halle, Clémentine looked tired. The organisational stress had taken its toll. Fight for your rights to party.
It has been a long way here - and I happily remember the Tokyo Think-Tank for example. Now there is vacuum.
So, I decided to go back to my work and focus on the remaining part of the exhibition and the surrounding city.
Its colours, however pale, and its sounds, however common and invisible, keep me moving. A sea of information drowns me.
Absorbing the city, I am rapidly reduced to an electron circling an atom.
The curves in the stones, the moss, the dust, the garbage. Sometimes, I'm in your hair.
Dark streets cast shadows on slowly moving cars.
Neon-lights.
Giggling.
