the 17th of february was the presentation. By accident I was the first.
We started late, at 10:30 a.m.

I didn't have enough time to explain all the things that have happened, I had to resume(obviosuly).
At the beginning there were two guests Prof. Luise King, Jan Rinke and my teacher, Florian Köhl. Also Dani came!
I showed this blog, I forgot Januar, I could'nt explain everything.
I don't know how Mac computers work and suddenly I started closing-opening windows without control so ... Frederic helped me.
Since my situation in the city, until the euro wich Igor gave to me, I crossed over different scales. I used the blog to explain how I felt all the experiences, and I used the pictures with their comments to compare with people's points of view. I have received pictures from ten different people.

Two more guests came later Sara Riviere and Nikolai von Rosen.
I can't not repeat the exact words, I was not writting in that moment, something that I noticed, was difference between what the women said and what the men said.

Both woman talked about the things that they found interesting, the occupation with my objects, the relations established with people and also about my personal experience, they were delighted, they said to me; on the other side one of them said that this project seemed to him strange people making strange things in berlin, he was not delighted and couldn't find nothing interesting, the other one called the project performance.

They talked about borders, Florian said that it was a conventional room (wich is true) and started talking about how can it be next time( more ambiguous, maybe?) ... he also said how nice was the process (4 days) of carrying the elements [in]to ewersbalder; Sara noticed how I changed the space I had around by bringing my own space, she related it with the way in which Audrey Hepburn brought her own personal space around her, just with her coffee, in Breakfast at Tiffany's .

13:45 I wait for the s-bahn...something happens, it doesn´t comes.
14:10 I take the S-bahn form Westend, I don´t know way this trains usually stop in someplace and everybody has to go out...ende station. And it doesn´t matter if it is your ende-travel or not.
14:30 I arrive at Shönhauser alle.
15:30 I´ve just finished measuring, recording, taking pictures so I go home. The paper I put last time stills there but it didn´t work out.
15:35 Shönhauser alle.
I go home, and I forgot to take the carpets from Giorgio´s, one of the reasons for the travel.

I´ve been thinking of what happened there.

the difference between public and privat is made most of times by our actions.
the limit is our decision to comunicate. sometimes when there is now wall, still exists some kind of border( not property, no wall, no fence, no traffic light)... some kind of sensitive education that stopped the people to interrupt me.

when I did paint my nails, when I was sleeping, when I was reading, normaly none interrupted me, and when they did, they just wanted to chat.

another thing is the necesity from the people there to know exactly what happens, why do I request their attention, why do I show this, why do I need them.
I was giving them the oportunity to be ogler, onlooker, spectators...they didn´t understand it.
the spectacle was sometimes about intimacy, and another times about street life.
My explanations where never enough for them.

I was editing the work, the sounds, the images, the texts...when I´ve known that my grandmother has lost her memory.

All this objects which I´m working with are full of stories, some of them have not happened yet.
I can not imagine not knowing the objects, the stories, the people...

Tuesday 7th february. berlin

19:00 p.m. I’m going to Eberswalder in the U2. Today I’ve received pictures from Frederic, who visited me wile I was sleeping, and Elisa a friend of Graziella, I’ve send a mail to the people that took pictures, and I know them.
I don’t know if somebody make a picture from away and doesn’t have my address.
I arrive at eberswalder, first I try to put one of the papers in the place where I put my photos, but the owner of the kiosk come and says that the illuminated poster must be visible. So today he has problems with my occupation.
It is raining, the cartels’ glue on the walls is still fresh, and so I use it.
Now I record some sounds, they remember me when I was sleeping. The place now appears to me really small.
20:30 I go back.

Friday

13:00 I’m making pictures to my objects, the objects that I brought to eberswalder.

19:00 p.m. Aaron knocks my door, he gives me folder with pictures and a text:

so sorry, jetzt kommen endlich die angefragten Bilder von deinem Projekt

Ich versuch mal auch noch eins, zwei Zeilen dazu zu schreibenHmm gar nicht so leicht, dass irgendwie einzuordnen.
Gedanke: ‚Verrückt’. Was wohl eigentlich gar nicht mehr gesagt zu werden brauch, wobei, da ich es nicht als gewöhnlich erachte, du schon dein erstes Ziel bei mir als unbeteiligter Passant erreicht hast.

Eine hässliche Ecke Berlin’s wird wohnlich.
Festgefressene Paradigmen werden zweifelhaft.

-WIR sind für die Gestaltung unseres Umfeldes verantwortlich.
-Wieso schließen wir hinter uns die Tür zu und damit unser Umfeld aus?
-Öffentlicher Raum = Lebensraum (erinnerte mich ein wenig an afrikanische, oder asiatische Länder, wo das Leben größtenteils draußen und gemeinschaftlich stattfindet.)

Eine Zeitungsanzeige für dein Wohnzimmer könnte sehr interessant ausfallen.

Also diese ‚Zimmer zu vermieten’ Dinger.

„Wohnst du noch, oder frierst (lebst) du schon“?

Ok. Ist nur blabla, aber du wolltest es ja so, glaub ich.

Mit besten Grüßen

Aaron

20:00 p.m. I try to translate it, Kerttu comes in and she helps me. She wants me to cook Spanish omelette.

2006-02-09T13:49:00.000Z

I'm using earplugs to stop at least high sounds, ambulances, cars...but anyway I feel them.
I can feel the floor shaken under the mattress. I hear the cars so near that I think they will run over me. If I open my eyes I see the car lights through the plastic bubbles. I feel so tight.I wish take out my socks. a man comes , he push me, I can't see him, I uncover myself( I don't know what he wants):
-once I made a project like this but nobody belived me.
-o.k. guten naght.
now I will like to sleep. when I hear sombody I moved a little. I can hear the laughter, conversations, songs, broking glasses ... my plastic .

8:30 a.m I woke up, I almost can't not move, I break the plastic, I want to go out.
the people there watch twice. There is snowing. The plants are down, but alive.
The experiment is finished.

All my things are in their place, plus two euros in the table.I call everybody, who will come?
Graziella came, she hasn't slept yet.

we bring everything back to Giorgio's.

friday 3rd february.berlin

2006-02-06T16:38:00.001Z

6:30 a.m. I arrived late because I wanted to carry everything with me, Graziella ( my future flatmate) was there waiting for me. we opened the left luggage lockers and took everithing with us.Alexander Platz

At 8:30 a.m. in Eberswalder the floor is ready so we go to Giorgio´s, few people came when we were not there, Giorgio is sleeping, he has just gone to bed.
We colocate everything, Gra takes out a shit and I finish cleaning the future bathroom.While I put my personal belongings Gra goes to the supermarket to buy some food. The breakfast is ready in the table. bread, coffee, ham Garziella doesn't want to have breakfast where the table is, by the road, so we move it.

The first thing we found is man that can not sell in his corner because we are there. he doesn´t say nothing, just come take his hidden things from the wall of the kiosk.
Finished breakfast a man came, he says he is an architektur photograph, he makes some pictures, I pose, is the only time I did it in all the day.
An artist came and speaks to me about what is public and what is private, he works in that.
the tram pass frecuently and the people watch us. A woman wanted to give us money, two euros, I say that I don´t need it, she doesn't understand.
We are just under the train railway.
A woman doesn't like what we are doing, I don't understand why, we explained that it's a project and she said: no!
Some people think that this is a political reivindication, they search for some poster.
A dog came and putt its foot in my lap top, they doesn´t have problems to come in, it licks Graziella.

The people from here seem to be really adapted to everything, most of them don´t even look.
12:00 I meet Sebastian( who studies medizin in Italy). After talking, I ask him if he wants to come, he does, he takes out his shoes. He stay for a little with Gra and with me, he goes with the thermo he promises come back with hot tee.
Sara had arrived, she came for Graziella, a man gave us some drink: coco milkshake with ron.It also would be very helpfull. Sara takes us a photo. She spoke with Sebastian both study in the same city, Bolonia.
Alex(who lives in Lichtenberg) comes closer, he gives me to blanckets(*), which will be really helpfull. he said that he liked what was here and he wanted to particicpate.
I asked him to take out his shoes. he comes in. we just smoke a cigarette, he was worried about the cold and the plants, they could get frozen during the night -you could put them a plastic-.

Sara and Gracciela are leaving. I need to use cream for my hands.
14:30 p.m. It comes a little darker. I´m completely alone. Lots of unknown people have came closer and talked to me.But when we are more, more people are encouraged to come, when I am alone I see them embarrased, looking through a window.
My neighbour still comes sometimes.
I´ve noticed that when I make eye contact with some person, he usually turns around, but If I, as now, make eye contact followed by a smile, he comes and ask.
Today is really freezing.I´m trying to read, just by the table.

There is a man who prowls around, I feel in his face that he doesn´t like this...suddenly he takes my camera in his hands and asks me: -Wie viel kostet?- I say it´s not for selling so he goes, saying something about loosing things.
3:05 p.m. A man ( later I´ll know his name: Igor) gives me one euro. He came and asked me- if I give you an euro I could make you a photo, isn't it?- No you don't have to give any money just send it later to me, please. - he stills want to give me the coin, he makes the picture- later you can have a coffee!-. (*)
When I'm alone I think in the cold.
Some people ask me if I'm been paid, I said no, it's just an experiment.
A man says to me that once he had a dream in which he saw beds in the city, he was walking in the street seing beds.
Some people ask me if this is some kind of performance. I don´t know what to answer, I don´t need the word, but maybe for them could be reassuring. The normal question after what, is why.
15:38 p.m My neighbour comes back.
the worst thing are the sirens from ambulances.
15:47 p.m.I lie down on the carpet, while smoking, thinking.

15:57 p.m. Andrea, hare krishna, ex-priest. he was in south-america and know he is here working hard in the hard life, he said. he comes closer, he says that he likes this isle af peace in the city. He would come back later. Marta arrives. I stop trying to read.
16:24 p.m.Manuel, Dani ( from my residence) arrived they make some pictures, Andrea comes back, with a friend, he gave me a Buda postcard(*). We are playing Trivial Pursuit, it is Graziella´s.
17:10 p.m. Kerttu comes too. (sie wohnt bei mir).
17:37 p.m. We still playing, I think this is not anymore a bedroom, we are to many people, it´s just an impression. I brush my teeth.

17:55 p.m. Dani and Manu went out, also Andrea,his friend and Marta, I stay with Kerttu. I see some people running.
18:05 p.m. Sebastian comes back with warm Glühwein.(*)we are three now.

18:15 p.m. A man comes,doesn't say nothing, and gives me half packet of frikadellen(*).I eat them.
18:30 p.m. A young man (Ben)with a big hat and a big suitcase asks me if he can comes in. once he is with us he drinks Glüwein, lights a pair candles and plays saxofon, in my bedroom, that was exciting.

Sebastian, Kerttu and me are in the bed under my blankets because of the cold.Ben gave me a candle(*).
when somebody comes I have also the blankets that Alex gave me for them, when the feets are warm there is no problem.
18:50 p.m.Phillip doesn't understand what I'm doing, he says that television here is something of first necesity and I shoul have one. he speaks with me in spanish.

19:00 p.m. Sebastian discover a new way of looking the street, he lies down, looking upside down. Sebastian's flatmates come. Florian comes. They take pictures. Florian comes also under the blankets, he notices that there is warm.

19:25 p.m. We are three again, drinking glühwein. Matthias arrives( he comes often to the residence).Now we are four.
20:05 p.m.I saw a man( tall, thin, black dressed, not shaved) writing something, I didn't care. He comes in, with his big shoes, he throw to us the book (*)where he was writing. he doesn't say nothing,he goes, he was rude.
I can't understand what is written in the book but neither Matthias or Sebastian who are german. the book is called: do you remember?

20:05 p.m. There is a man (the one who gave me that euro) who passes by for the third time in the day, I start thinking that he changes his route to comes here( he is the one who will come later with plastic glasses and wine).
20:25 p.m. I've lost control. We are ten people or more, some of them bring drinks, some doesn´t take out their shoes, we play musik in my lap top. I have to change the things from their original places, to save them, like the plants which where in the entry. drinking, talking...one man says:
-I think what you're doing here is art, o.k?but it's not a experiment because I live in the street every day.
-I explain to him, how I'm showing myself, through my things, through this rom that now is a mess. I say to him that maybe when he goes to sleep he hides himself under the blanket, and that's all. More people who live in the street have told me the same today, but I´m living in a room in the street.

I don't know what is this place at the moment. Sara is painting the nails to a palestinian who looks like jamaican.

11:40 p.m. When everything was calm, I was just with Graziella and Sebastian, I had a conversation with Tom(his dreamt flat in berlin would have been in the same crossing) , we where separated by the clothes horse.

what would hapen if everybody takes a piece of public space and makes it personal?-he asks me, I answer that it could became much more interesting, normaly the people goes from one place to another and doesn't care of what's between.
He says that when somebody has a cut, it needs skin to cure. He also thinks that my objects will be different when I carry them back home.different for me. Actually, he was right.

12:00 Sebastian has gone. Haaron came, he stays here until I went to bed, I didn't recognize him, he lives in my residence, we just have seen eachother once, when he forgot his key and I let him mine. Claus came also, he is from Austria, he studies architecture, he wanted to stay but it was cold. I notice how the people stay longer they like to discover little details, as the photos or some book. he is discovering the toothbrush, while he is speaking.

A woman is really worried about me, she can't understand why will I sleep here. she asks why almost six times, she looks for cans and bottles. she scares me.
Somebody asks me about police, they haven't said nothing. I hope they let me sleep. they ask me if I have a permiss
Everybody goes, Haaron makes photos, Gra and I tidy up a little, she packs me and she left me sleeping.

monday 30th January.Berlin

2006-01-31T10:25:00.000Z

10:00 a.m. I go for a walk.
11:30I arrive in the sociology building where the computer pool is.
12:15 Loira came, she has arrived from Gèneve. We we'll work together.
15:00 we go to postdamer platz. In the way(u2) we stop in wittemberg.(bauhaus)
16:30 we left Postdamer, we have measured some elements, we continue in the same line (u2) to Ewersbalder, we noticed that we can take out the rubish box in Postdamer( or borrow it).

In the U-bahn somebody tries to speak english with us. she is young, short, blond...she ask if we study here, what do we study, and later if we make new buildings or old buildings. She tell us about her life, that we difficult understand. She makes copyes and gives pencils to the people, her boss was a minister of the green party.

sunday 29th January.Berlin

2006-01-29T21:38:00.000Z

10:30 a.m. I took the U-bahn from Sophie-Charlotte-Platz. Since Nollendorf until Postdamer Platz the travel is outside. Before Zoologister Garten I’m accompanied with two nuns ( I never thought they could exist here in Berlin). The train is almost empty.
When I went out of the residence Ketru and Dany where searching in internet how to go to a restaurant. They wanted to have a “brunch”, they heard about this place the night before in the TV channel of Berlin.
11:20 a.m. I arrived at Ewersbalder. I continue taking pictures on the direction to Mauer Park.

The way is really dangerous because of the ice, I’m not used to it, where I come from is more like desert. I walk slowly.
I see an old book with pictures from the Second World War times, almost all of them are about plains, but also there is a man’s life in pictures, he was a soldier. I see also carpets, chairs, mirrors...I eat a Rostwurst…lots of things that nobody uses anymore, so they sell them. My feet are freezing.

12:45 p.m. I stop for a coffee, in a kiosk, 1.30 euros.
Almost all the things that I’ve seen (or noticed) are not practical, are remembers. Ella Fitzgerald sings (“my heart belongs to daddy”) and I realise that possibly the people who lives around here are use to this objects, I’ will not find nothing strange in all these strange, personal, life objects. I´m really cold.

13:00 p.m. I decide to leave the market. I ask a woman where to catch the U-bahn and she answer that she doesn’t know.
13:47 p.m I arrive at Postdamer Platz.
I choose it because it’s in the same U-bahn line, because it has also a very different appearance, different uses, “language” ... and almost everybody could recognise it.
The scene is completely changed. I take pictures again. I go to the Sony Centre.
There is a wireless net. There are fewer things in the street here; the image seems to be care… by the company, by the local government? I see a man cleaning dressed with a orange uniform. I also see a big signal showing where Prenzlauerberg was.

14: 30p.m. I took the U-bahn back to the residence.

18:00 p.m. I meet Andrej, from Check Republic; he goes to Spain and wants to know about Andalucía. I explained to him how to get to Alfalfa and Alameda, I tell him to go on Tuesday to eat in that barbecue in the place where once my mother saw Camarón, he say that he will search in internet for Camarón.

saturday 28th january. Berlin

2006-01-28T20:07:00.000Z

18:00 p.m Back at the residence, I go the kitchen to prepare a coffe, with my papers a picture can be seen. Oleg (from Latvia)came, saw the picture and asked what was it, who was him, and for what was.

"this dis-orientation will cook a doubt in the people´s mind: localization doubt, situation doubt."was I writting
-he is nobody, it´s just a picture, I´ll try to disorientate people, it´s a work.
-By changing some parts of the streets I will try to make people disorientate, make them feel in another place, or just loosing for a moment the knowledge of the position- I explained.
es ist fur ein fächer?-ja-welche?-...entwurf
he looked at me and said something in german that I couldn´t understand really, but it seemed something like I was a freak.
"The problem is how would I know if somebody is doubting ?-continued I writting-
the most obvious thing seems to be asking the people ...another posibilty is following few persons and study their reactions, select some ones and study their routes"
Now came Dani who had founded a solution in internet for her plant, she would mix water and oil to fumigate it.
It worked the white insects went out inmediatly!

"tomorrow I should go to Mauer Park´s Flohmarkt"

20.00 p.m. I came to the internet cafe wich is in my street (at the moment), Danckelmannstrasse. During the travel in metro from ewersbalder to sophie charlotte platz ( one hour more or less) I thought about creating a blog to tell the process and also to make the blog become part of it. Now it´s 22:23.

15:00 p.m. I arrived at Eberswalder Straße .I try to make an inventory of the scene, the places there, but it´s so cold that I decide to have a coffee http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/EDDB/2006/1/28/DailyHistory.html?req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA

The place is really crowded. I try to seem native but it doesn´t work, when I ask:
-es ist Jemand hier?
-a couple of teenagers answer -we don´t know .
the place is full of objects, personal objects that nobody seem to notice: a stuffed fox with a plate looking to a lamp, spanish shoes hanging...the waitress came and shouted: -Barbara!

17:00 p.m the cold level that my feet are suffering and the low light level makes me to retire, it´s not enough for pictures.I´ll come back tomorrow morning.

As I still think some way of dis-orientation I have made pictures of every object that
a) is every day at every hour in the street, no matter if it changes.
b)is seen or touched by the most of the people.
I´ve photographed things that are located more or less in the eyes level, but no higher, and something been touched is just the pavement(for now).

Friday 27th january. Berlin.

11:00 a.m I arrive at the library.http://www.ub.tu-berlin.de/ub_englisch.html

I read the book: Double Game (Hardcover)by Sophie Calle, Paul Auster

I left my things in the cupboard where the cafeteria is, because I have a two euros coin, so I can not use the cupboards where the principal door is.

8: 30 p.m. I send a mail to a friend in Spain (Curro)

"voy a hacer una accion
todavia no puedo darte detalles
ya te cuento"

I leave the library. I´ve finished with the book
