con ver sa tions: it make sense in the sit u ation
you know you have the crooked nose.
wow look at that crooked nose.
the greed.
the back stab
from the one person i thought the world of
ends up being the...
its ok
accept it
your one in a billion
a what
not a million a billion
it's ok that you think that way
accept it,
respect
i've always felt that way.
i think that's everybody.
your carrot.
everybody has their own carrot.
like the bunny and it's carrot.
i never thought about making money.
now i want to make money.
and
a lot of money.
You want to go to college?
Oh you want to open that hub?
it's going to change the quality.
we grow up like that
like money is bad.
like it's good to be poor
like im limited...
but im hungry again
i was going to go to NY
i had everything planned
the company i was with
the FBI came in.
I'm gonna take the opportunity.
i want to snap out it.
like we get that money.
i want to exercise .
i don't want to be old.
i saw a guy that was my age. he looked like he was 60.
sometimes we are too hard on ourselves.
we are like,
it's like ,
cuando son,...
it's like a fly that gets stuck on the glass...
but underneath it is the open air
but we are stuck on that glass...
when you make your movie.
you'll be,
you'll be rent your lighting,
your camera.
there are a lot of things to learn about film making.
when you get this.....
when you listen to the bass.
first you had to get technical then the talent had the rest.
after a while...
if you decide to go into filmmaking
it'll be a struggle.
but when you do people will ask "what the fuck is this?"
i used to be the one yelling out all the suggestions,'
then i got confident.
i got really good advice.
i like this film and i thought
why do i like this film?
it's being real.
it's touching =me.
I love watching spiderman
but
i love stories.
and i was watching a movie where parents were having an affair with each other.
You know what i mean?
the separation. watch this.
won the best movie...201-....2011? Sundance.
from the littlest thing that happened.
ah! the acting!
my friend is arabic.
he said it's simple.
"they are going back and forth..."
it looks like a documentary.
a lot of people don't know about muslim, islam, and how the women and men relate.
this director tied in a lot of beliefs that the muslims had without all the judgement...
i saw this movie that reminded me of your beliefs.
it's a story you told me when you were younger.
it's obvious but confusing.
timid and selfless.
that's what relationships are
fighting and loving each other.
i forget the name of the movie
.......
an interpretation of Fernelly Sr.
p.s.
arabic movie.
acting is crazy.

trailer...Drinnen ist ein Vogel
here's a three-minute teaser. do not be fooled this is an Ideenfabrik collective project. It only says my name at the end, because I had to cut 3 minutes to use for a fellowship application, and I was supposed to put my name somewhere in the footage.

was fuer ein DOKUFILM? -- what's with our documentary?
ENGLISH VERSION:
DEUTSCH VERSION:
Neukölln. Wie viele Dinge umgeben uns? - hier gibt es An- und Verkauf-Läden, Trödelmärkte und so viele Objekte, die man auf der Strasse finden kann. In jedem Hause, gibt es Dinge, die gesammelt und geliebt werden, andere die gehortet werden, bis das Interesse an ihnen verloren geht und sie weggeworfen werden.
Die Objekte bewegen sich zwischen Menschen und Orten. Sie enthalten wichtige Informationen über ihre Besitzer, die ihnen unterschiedlichste Bedeutungen geben. Sie sind im ständigen Umlauf.
Nähere Betrachtung dieser Bewegung inspiriert uns, die Geschichte, die sie zu erzählen haben, zu portraitieren – einige wahrhaftig, andere die die Phantasie anregen.Unser Projekt ist eine Dokumentation dieser Geschichten. Seit geraumer Zeit sammeln wir Material, das die Bewegung der Neuköllner widerspiegelt. Es enthält Portraits und Interviews mit unterschiedlichen Persönlichkeiten zur Präsentation der Vielfalt ihrer Umgebung. Wir werden mit Gegenständen (Objekten), die sich im Kiez finden, kleine fantastische Szenarien kreieren, die die Bewegung Neuköllns widerspiegeln.
Wir wollen neue Möglichkeiten schaffen, um den Begriff von Anhaftung neu zu definieren und neue Wege der Interaktion zu finden. Wo liegt die Beziehung zwischen Personen und Objekten in einem gemeinsamen Raum, der im ständigen Fluss ist? Die Konstruktion einer Open-AirSkulptur findet am 26./27. Juni 2010 im Rahmen des 48 Stunden Neukölln Festivals bzw. Nachbarschaftstsfestes in der Donaustrasse statt, zu dem alle herzlich eingeladen sind.
Das „Festival des Traumbaus“ schliesst mit der öffentlichen Projektion der Dokumentation zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt. Die Begründer des Projektes sind ein bunter Mix aus 9 idealistischen, warmherzigen, Künstlern der ganzen Welt: die Ideenfabrik. In ständiger Bewegung zwischen konzeptueller Kunst, Visualisierungen und Musik steht die Freude am Experimentieren ständing im Vordergrund. Ihr Ziel ist letztlich das Zusammenspiel von Inspiration und Aktion.
Die freundliche Unterstützung des Quartiers-Management Donaustrasse-Nord hat uns dieses Projekt ermöglicht.
Neukolln. There are ‘An und Verkauf’ shops, flea markets, and items strewn across across the streets. In the house, there are possessions that are kept and loved and there are there are the others that are simply stored and collected--dismissed. How should one manage all of this?
Here the objects are in constant motion between people and locations (e.g. from homes onto the streets). The objects themselves hold significant information about their owners and surroundings, but so do the journeys that they undergo. They are circulating. Close observation of this movement triggered a search for stories, those that are true and those that are left to be imagined.
For our project, we will create a documentary. We have been collecting an array of footage that will reflect the movement of Neukolln. This will contain portraits and conversations of different personalities highlighting the diversity of our environment. We will also implement more fantastic bits creating small, playful scenarios using found objects from the kiez. From our processes, interactions with the neighbors are some kind of interaction with the passerbys interested in what we are doing at the time. We want to create possibilities, to redefine attachments, to find new uses and new ways of interaction. Where lies the agreement between persons and objects in a common space that is in constant fluxus state?
The documentary consummates with the construction of installation in the open air with open invitation (Donaustrasse Nachbarenfest/48 Stunden Neukolln, June 26-27). Festival des Traumbaus closes at a later date with a public screening of the documentary, the final installment. The support of Quartiers-Management Donaustrasse-Nord made this possible.
The composer of the project is a group of starry eyed, warmhearted, mish-mash of enthusiastic artists, die Ideenfabrik. Moving fluidly from visual and conceptual art to music, the desire for experimentation is ever present. Assembled are a group of nine very different personalities from all over the world. The goal is ultimately collaboration towards inspiration and action.

latest
Some other new projects that for one reason or another connect or not with other future projects from the collective:
a) Pepita music video
Paraic and Jorge will film a music video on a song from Mexican band Lunes, a day in life combined with setupstadt photo project idea and kostenloslife documentary project. Plus we use the donaustrasse as a starting set, meshing nicely with Festival des Traumbaus concept and needs. -visuals kommt später-
b) Strategies on space invasion perfomance
Sonia Klajnberg and Jorge will hold a performance 12th june in hobrechtstrasse 59.
..installation, live music and soundscapes, video and dance/performance.
the performance talks in images about entropy, chaos and a world / stage where everything plays an important / pointless role in it. the high importance of pointlessness of life, and because is pointless it should not be taken lightly, its very easy to get lost in it.

zum Verschenken
Last Tuesday Fernelly and I sat on the stairs of Rauthaus Neukoelln:
- Pair of leather shoes found near the Neukölln Stadtbad
- a Detroit Pistons cap leftover from our Projekt Objekt objects.
- A wooden box as pedestal and a sign that says 'Geschenk' (gift)
One of our interactions:
Man with light black/grey cap takes off his cap tries on our ours, tell him "es passt perfekt". The blue and red of the American team's cap matches his blue workers uniform perfectly. That day I didn't get a photo of him. UNTIL the next day when I saw him at Blage for Voku and reminded him of the exchange asking if I could photograph him. Apparently before I got there the man was making a scene throwing bottles telling the people at blage that he would call the police if they didnt quiet down, claiming he lived upstairs, but everyone tells me he was buzzing the apartment repeatedly trying to get into the building. Anyway unaware of all this,as I arrived to the bar, I saw him got excited as he was teling thers to quiet down, and I reminded him of the cap exchange from the day prior. Everyone around me had no idea what I was talking about, I asked him to take a photo, he took a break from his rants, smiled for two photos, then I assured him that I'd try to get people quitely inside. Then received a million questions from my friends as to what he was doing with 'my hat'
