back

back to cittadellarte, last week of UNIDEE, last week of sharing a july- cittadella. Stefan Münker und Annette Spohn are still here! Stefan being an "expert", Annette being Annette. 6 more days of preparing the good bye party, finishing some works, talking about the projects who were selected for BIG and those who were not. its easier to express than we thought. people take it "projectional", not personal. last big party with all a.i.r 2001 and people from Biella. everybody has to bring some cool/hot CD's when we'll meet again in September! dancing is like soulshowering. thoughts dwindle, feelings sparkle. in dance we trust, Tricky was a DJ.

~ ~ bye a.i.r., earth, wind and fire, bye hot chocolate, bye barry white, bye salsa, samba, rumba, bye cittadellarte, dance you in september! bye Michelangelo and Maria, it's a pleasure to call cittadellarte our second home! and bye bye Stefan and Annette! - lets meet soon in Spain!! (you know, they are interested in buying the neighbours house, right next to Casqueiro!… that would be perfect…around x-mas we want to visit Jesus. the owner..)

down in Menton again, cote a'zur, the cradle of tourism. is it because of all the old people enjoying Menton (70% seem to be over 65) that T + o feel so very young when they stop in Menton? they meet Bettina (omis cousin), Mahdin and Malina, their daughter (3). they are coming back from Sardinia holydays. three days we'll rest together - go to the beach where Le Corbusier lived in his Cabanon for many years…



23Kb

swimming in the bay where he died, talking about architecture, projects and food, looking over to Monaco - looks like the total abolition of construction rules and laws. the absence of culture, the presence of money! Malina shits on the middle of the floor of the beach restaurant. panties down, nkkkkh, done! she just learned to live without nappy.

before Bettina and M & M are arriving Teresa and omi visit a park.
Le jardin des Colombières
(forget the "history" they tell you on this page, just for images...) there they meet Michel I., a specialist for the gardens of Menton (ask him for the history of Colombières). he is employed by the city and gives the calcis a good tour. the seed cup of the lotus has a fantastic architecture:



32Kb

he invites them to come the day after tomorrow to Le jardin de la Serre de la Madone,
where he has another park to show. they all go. Malina likes the little things on the floor most, ants and stones. Michel invites us to visit his parents and him in Gorbio, he calls it "the most beautiful village in France". where are we? in holydays? are we over 65 allready? ufff, its so good to have some distance to all…no keyboards, no written papers, no telephones. but the sea, today seen from Gorbio. but 4 days pass like one day and night - lets meet around x-mas in Spain! and they are in their cars again. going north and going southwest.

southwest - visit Corinne in Mugel, LA CIOTAT, Marseille, Christophe the incredible performance investigator is here too! other friends from Corinne and a fishsoup, african projects/urls, wine and a fantastic bay next to the hugest crane we ever saw. but no shipbuilding anymore, just dead industries like everywhere in europe. and tourism around. what will be the future of these enormous buildings and infrastructures?

next morning, everbody sleeps - Teresa and omi leave early, they want to come closer to Casqueiro…but first they visit Raphael in the mountains…somewhere near St. Gaudens…little road road road… sitting around a kitchen table, changing few words, on the table lies a collapsible steel meter. agreeing that Raphaele brings a steel meter and omi brings a wooden meter when we meet again. change of meters. "see you soon in cittadellarte!"

one more night in St. Gaudens. there is a yellow Ferrari with a glass bonnet parked in the village. men standing around it, knowing it better. "500 Ps", "no 600", "640"… why do boys never learn to learn?

8 speakers (hip hop, funk hop, soul hop), 130 km per hour by using 4,8 liter of diesel, driving through a long day of lazy light, leisure europe, as souther we get as more tourists we see.
