The Masked Singer – Essen vs. Berlin

The word is out: the pandemic has been declared over. Other issues are now on the agenda. The TV programme has not got any better, but there are still constants you can rely on: They are dressing up again and they are also performing again, more or less skilfully. Last Saturday, a new season of […]

LACUNA on a flying visit

Just recently, during one of my wanderings, I stumbled across a paste-up by the Berlin based street artist LACUNA. I was thrilled; paste-ups are rare to find in Essen and don’t have a high chance of survival here. Too many people try to peel the works off the wall to take them away and destroy […]

Beware! Piraña

The Ruhr area is a stronghold of graffiti; there are only a few artists who do paste-ups. The street art scene tends to meet on the Rhine in Düsseldorf and Cologne, where it has covered entire neighbourhoods, such as the Belgian Quarter, with this art. I don’t know of such focal points in my area […]

Demining Team

To Ancient Egyptians scarab beetles were a smbol of luck And these two pill-rotators are in desperate need of luck, as they have accidentally chosen a highly explosive bomb to lay their eggs in. Wherever they crawl, danger travels with them. Or is it perhaps more about manoeuvring this dangerous object out of the danger […]

Weather balloon – Aha – Oh, I see!

A Chinese weather balloon takes off and flies thousands of miles to the USA. Jet stream, not jet lag, all right.Of course, I started calculating right away. According to my calculations, it should come down east of Bremen at the end of May. In the meantime, I keep an eye out for all kinds of […]

Bilk S – Opinion not Judgement

Actually, the last article concerning the change at Bilk station was supposed to go online yesterday. A report on my walk in Dortmund harbour and the Backboard Jam last weekend was planned for today. But I’ve received so many messages on Instagram about the changes at Bilk station that I want to add this post. […]

Bilk S – One Thing is for sure – The Change

Now the long wall opposite the entrance to the station remains to be discussed only. For some time it has been firmly in the hands of the graffiti writers, not always to the advantage of a universally pleasing appearance. The times when paste-ups and stickers shared the space here, are unfortunately over. At least I […]
