DaSvidania Ukraine...


Goeie Morgen Everyone,

First of all I would like to apologize for my Lazyness... Since Anne Sophie and Alex have left last week end (snif!) I have had to deal with more things than expected. Anywayz, I am on the verge of leaving and that gives me a mixed feeling of excitment and sadness. Heading somewhere else with the impression that I haven't seen what I should have, "real Ukraine", will certainly be a excellent reason to come back to this country en devenir.
But Ukraine also rimes with various human styles. In a little more than a month I have met stuburn civil servants, smart business men, creative artists, charming women, great friends, total morons and humping dogs. Pick your category, mates! It was trully a pleasure to meet you all and I hope our path will cross again very soon... Kazantip for example...;) We could all dress as rockets? Guess who is in the Rocket?
As far as activities are concerned...Kiev had still a lot to offer, so I took as much as I could! Next to my ritual Dj Session @ Pret-à-Café, we went to the Opera, to watch la Traviata, which ended up not being such a great experience after all... Bad Sound, Worse Acting, and the Worst Voice, so I didn't make it further than the 2nd act. Then came the time to "farwell" party together! Diner @ Amy & Favio's who il cocinare piu meliore de Kievi!!! We then had a great party @ Orangeria where I could show some more dj skills in front of ... 10 people! Apparently you don't compete with R&B in this country ;((((( So I guess some of you are interested in my next destination.... WelL I will soon be aBle to tell You All more about it, so wait the next post! hint: It's a very polite place??? heu heu

Catch Ahmet Polat, if you can…

With his prophet-like style, Ahmet Polat is on a quest for identity, dialogue and stories. At merely 30 years old, Polat has exposed his work in more than twenty exhibitions since 1999, at galleries including Stroom (The Hague), RAM (Rotterdam), the Photo Museum (The Hague), Karsi Sanat (Istanbul), and the most prestigious Turkish art venue, The Istanbul Modern. In 2006, the International Centre of Photography (ICP), the world’s leading photography foundation, has for the first time awarded Turkish photographer Ahmet Polat as “The World’s Best Young Photographer Award”. Polat, by wining the award, showed that he could stand proud in the international arena, along side veteran photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Thomas Rose, and Jeff Krueger. Son of a forcefully adaptive Turkish lorry-driver, Ahmet Polat’s extraordinary realization has naturally placed him as the new Turkish photography torchbearer. “I wasn’t going for it” he commented when we started recording, but still got succ...

Zamalek

Here we are people! Manhattan Cairo aka Zamalek, an island of "peace" where "everybody' lives because of the location, the standard of living, but above all because everything gets delivered to you in 20 minutes. Egypt can turn easily you into a laaaaazy boy. Pizza+DVD+Beer+laundry+groceries+anyyything without sweating a single drop, isn't that amazing. A good thing is that tennis courts are not that far either... Quentin took me last week end for another tour in the center and to what is called "islamic Cairo". We walked for hours in the neighbourhood's labyrinthus, just wandering where to find something, and i guess we still don't know exactly what this something was, but it got us to discover colorful streets which aren't full of "rambo" tourists who come to cairo dressed as if they were on a hike in the desert. Cairo remained the central city of Egypt throughout the period of British rule and afterwards. The 20th century saw ma...
