Etrange d'être de retour à Berlin après un an et un mois d'absence, absence parce que j'ai déménagé à Montréal l'été dernier. Revenir à la même période que lors de mon départ donne l'impression que rien n'a changé et que je suis parti hier. Avec un énorme plaisir je revois plein de têtes connues, après so many years à Berlin ca crée des liens forcément.
Donc plein de question trotte dans ma tête, pourquoi suis-je parti? Qu'est-ce que j'ai fait pendant un an? Cette année correspond aussi à mon plus long éloignement de l'Europe en durée, revenu en septembre dernier j'ai depuis passé 10mois en Amérique du Nord, vivant à Montréal et alternant excursion au Mexique et Californie.
Revenir en teutonie et refaire bilan avec les amis que je retrouve ici. Me répétant, mais toutes ces discussions aidant à analyser ces treize derniers mois.
Un travail avec des hauts et des bas où mon cerveau n'est pas vraiment mis à l'épreuve, je chipote un peu, mais j'ai appris pas mal de choses nouvelles aussi.
Du temps disponible donc, à utiliser pour lire, rêver, créer. Des nouvelles images, un nouveau site et plein de piste à explorer.
Des nouvelles têtes, de belles personnes rencontrées, un autre mode de vie. Citoyen du monde fait un peu cliché mais c'est pas loin.

Berlin art galerie pilgrimage
The setup
Back in Berlin for a few days, equipped with a bike, bottle of water, a camera, I'm ready to my what's used to be my usual galerie tour. There is some much stuffs to see here, made me realised how small was the scene in Montreal in comparison.
The coffee
I stay at a friend's place near Rosenthaler Platz, so no other choices than having a first stop early in the morning at St. Oberholz, they have coffee, internet and usually good music.
The tour
Direction the South of Berlin and the Galerie Thomas Schulte. Finally visiting this address I have been passing so many times in the last 10 years. Beautiful building and space inside with a kind of corner glass house, very cool. Always or almost always an in situ art piece in this corner. Once inside there is more to discover. A beautiful very late discovery for me.
Deeper South into Kreuzberg
Direction König Galerie for the all in concrete church turned into a gallery. As usual the two persons at the entrance don't pay attention to you, quickly you go up the main big room above, this time a giant picture framed installation, very cool.
The classic
Now that I'm there, I just need to cycle a few meters away and the Berlinische Galerie is waiting for me. What can I say? It's always a good address to visit and if the temporaries installations do not suit you there is always the permanent collection. This really rarely happen to me as there is often something that pleases me, so one more time I found something, a new artist I didn't the work, but what do I know...
The artist Loredana Nemes is presenting her work (and here on Artsy). Her world was very inspiring to me, especially the series GierAngstLiebe in black and white such that you don't know if you are looking at negative images or not, beautiful.
Below what her imagery has inspired me to produce.
