Technology and research on the canal
One of the more spectacular objects that can be seen while travelling on the Landwehrkanal is the Douglas C47 (military version of a DC3) mounted outside the Technik Museum. Together with the single blade of a wind turbine, it gives a taste of the exhibits housed on what had been the station for trains to Anhalt, the Anhalter Bahnhof. The aircraft is one of the many “Rosinenbomber” (raisin…

Dort, wo sich die #Spree zum #Osthafen weitet, biegen wir von der stillen Wasserfläche mit ihren großen, alten #Speichern und #Lagerhallen in eine schmale Lücke ein. Jetzt sind wir im #Landwehrkanal, der hier, an der alten #Oberschleuse, in den Hafen mündet, und tauchen in eine geheimnisvolle Welt…

IS AMONG THE MOST RESPECTED ARTISTS IN THE CONTEMPORARY ART WORLD, AND ONE OF ITS MOST MYSTERIOUS AND ENIGMATIC AS WELL, HE IS A CONCEPTUAL ARTIST, A PHOTOGRAPHER, A WRITER, A PAINTER, A SCULPTOR, A COLLECTOR, AN ACTOR, A GRAPHIC DESIGNER, A CURATOR– SIMULTANEOUSLY THE OTHER AND HIMSELF.
Der Winter schickte am Montag noch in ganz flachem Winkel gelbes Licht, das fast zaghaft wirkte, und selten. Vielleicht deswegen sah man sich das öfter an, dieses fade Gelb, das wie um seine eigene Seltenheit wusste und sich deshalb bewusst interessanter inszenierte. Es war sich seines Publikums bewusst geworden. Und die Schatten, die sich direkt dahinter ausbreiteten und über die Flächen sich ausgossen wie Tinte, preußischblau und transparent: showy. Wer die Malerei sucht, nur um dort die Farbe zu finden, der–
Ein Snarf ist einer, der an den Fahrradsatteln der Mädchen riecht, aber das ist der Sommer, der ist jüngst verstorben, und ein Kind von Morgen. Ich rieche jedoch die hohe Wohnung am Landwehrkanal, die ich nicht besitze. Darin ein Kater, der jede Dame angräbt. Besitze ich auch nicht. Und dann, dann wird es Nacht.
Dass Charles M. Schulz Charlie Brown und Lucy van Pelt, und all die anderen, so oft Schlittschuhlaufen ließ, liegt daran, daß er, Schulz, selbst aus St. Paul, Minnesota, kam. Dort sind die Winter echte Winter. Das erste Bild im Strip, eine kleine Figur, zwei, die Schlittschuhe über der Schulter hängend. Darum haben mich die Peanuts ausgesucht. Ich bin ein Winterboy, bin geboren im Januar, noch bevor das Licht kam.
Einmal meinte Charlie’s Schwester Sally zu ihm, er müsse lernen, wie man mit einem beachball redet. Das ist guter Rat.

Canal calm
Having been a defensive trench outside the city walls, the Landwehrkanal is now in the middle of the bustling city of Berlin. Trees grow along most of its banks and there are parks or playgrounds on one side or another. Any fan of weeping willows will be well rewarded by a boat trip along here.
There are also plenty of animals. We only saw the birds, however, the frequency with which we saw…

for the book asks: 3, 4, 11, 12, 16!
3. what were your top 5 books of the year?
i feel like i had a kinda solid-to-good reading year where everything is p good but few things really stand out so this list is cheating a lil
1. JJEU (james joyce extended universe): rereads so they shouldn't count BUT by far my favourite reading experience of the whole year was reading ulysses (novel of all time) along with burgess's book on joyce & frank delaney's lovely lovely lovely podcast re:joyce (& a bunch of other stuff). also i'm pivoting from portrait to ulysses but stephen is still my babygirl. i haven't finished finnegans wake yet but we don't talk about that.
2. palliser/parliamentary series, anthony trollope. technically read half of these last year. i don't think this series is as consistent as barsetshire but it's also in some ways more interesting (especially re: women). but like i'm mainly here for silly soapy victorian comfort reading about thee #1 iconic girlboss/malewife couple of all time, lady glencora & planty 'most principled & delicate of men' pal (blorbo from my books)
3. solitud, víctor català. no freedom as wide-reaching & no captivity as total as the catalonian mountains (& being a woman, but that's mainly column b). don't remember this in great detail but remember loving the landscape writing & interiority of main character mila.
4. games without rules: the often interrupted history of afghanistan, tamim ansary. just a really good, compelling history of afghanistan that i enjoyed & learned a lot from.
5. broken earth trilogy, n.k. jemisin. everyone in the SFFsphere already knows this series rocks but yeah it really really does. also it allowed me to be a [redacted] truther & be right which is always fun.
4. did you discover any new authors that you love this year?
i've had jo walton on my radar for a while but she literally wrote a book (tooth&claw) that can only be described as 'trollope but everyone's a dragon' bc trollope pissed her off so much. i love trollope obviously but that's valid & it was fun, so i shall read more from her. i also had a lot of fun with t. kingfisher's nettle & bone so i will be reading more from her as well.
11. what was your favourite book that has been out for a while, that you just now read?
'out for a while' is so broad how do i even answer this. the posthumous memoirs of brás cubas by machado de assis has been out long enough to become a newly rediscovered gem several times over and it is genuinely a lot of fun (& much shorter than tristram shandy) so that's one
12. any books that disappointed you?
the undercurrents by kirsty bell combines memoir and the history of berlin through one specific building next to landwehrkanal (where the author lived for a while) & there's some interesting stuff in it but also the memoir parts feature a lot of complaining about how her altbau apartment (which she owns) is too big & has bad vibes and leaking pipes bc of historical trauma or whatever & sorry but in this economy???
16. what is the most over-hyped book you read this year?
cursed bunny by bora chang (tr. anton hur) is a fine if not especially memorable collection of short stories. it's fine - *single pistol shot*

a folded note
as the night lay dow on top of us
crows fly out of my eyes
drift
fire never consuming
fragments ourselves
hourglass
how to become a ghost (without dying)
i’m the one transforming this world into words
if we live
im landwehrkanal
je me souviens
la position du tireur couché
laissez bronzer les cadavres
little hare messenger of the moon
more was lost
oath
palm in mirror
realities
remnants
sleeping coyote
starfield and skyfield
staves of smoke
swords of salt
the keymaster’s dream
the people who carry their forest around with them
they brush against you but do not quite touch
they wait on the other side
treaties
we remember how to close our eyes to this
when doorways crumble inwards
you are the one transforming these words back into a world
