Zeughaus Rapperswil, November 2023



These photos of me were taken by Blazenka Kostolna at the Zeughaus in Rapperswil in November 2023.

I do not remember anything in particular of what was hanging on the walls of the museum which, come to think of it, seems kind of strange. Well, I'm not much into what is commonly considered art anyway. As a background to this  photo-shoot I think this place however pretty perfect.

In Domodossola

Image
Domodossola, am 17. April 2024 Zwei Nächte verbrachte ich in Domodossola. Es war nicht mein erster Besuch, die Stadt ist übersichtlich  und nicht sehr gross. Erstaunlicherweise gelang es mir jedoch, mich zu verlaufen. Es war sonnig und windig, was das Fotografieren von Blumen  nicht gerade einfach machte. Jedenfalls brauchte ich einige   Anläufe und viel Geduld, bis die obige Aufnahme zustande kam. Woran ich mich im Rückblick erinnere: Dass die Bewohner "meiner"  Unterkunft, jedenfalls die, deren Zimmer an meines grenzte, offenbar taub waren   –  ich wähnte mich gelegentlich in einer Disco.

Self-portrait, Lausanne 1989

Lausanne,  1989 I'm presently cleaning house (step by step, so it will take a while).  Among the things that I've come across was this photo of me that I took  or,  rather, that the camera that I had placed on a pile of books in front of me  (I remember this distinctly) had taken of me.  At that time, in 1989, I shared an apartment with my brother Thomas at Chemin des Fleurettes in Lausanne and it was there that the photo was taken.   I was alone in the apartment. Scrutinising the picture 35 years later, I'm wondering  whether such a photo could be taken by a person behind the lens. Would I look to the  camera in the same way  knowing that I'm being photographed? I doubt it.

In Marseille

These pics were taken in the beginning of May 2022, on different days. I was standing quite some time on the narrow street below and did not tire at all of trying to capture what only lasted for very, very brief moments. Or better: what we call moments.
