instead of a sedcard

My parents are …
an aspirational conservative son of an able craftsman, who became a master craftsman and was arrested for porn smuggling,
and the daughter of a furrier and upholsterer and the granddaughter of a mining worker who worked in mining at Mülheim/Ruhr, Germany.
The house/flat I grew up in ….
was built on the site of an old shack which had been home of oiks and a drunken pipelayer, nasty housewifes and AVON-counselors. The drunken pipelayer eventually drank herself to death. It is cursed land and misery comes to any who live there.

When I was a child I wanted to be …
a squirrel, a skate or Maria Callas.

If I could change one thing about myself …
it would be my inability to pretend links I like I most defiantly do not.
And my thoroughgoingness.

You wouldn’t know it but I’m very good at ….
cooking and eroticism.

You may not know it but I’m no good at …
hoovering, telling lies

At night I dream of …
redemption, recession, friends and enemies, a little baby

What I see when I look in the mirror …
is someone I know well but barely recognise

My favorite item of clothing …
is a black string tanga, a red corsett, high heels by Hugo Boss, loungepants by Jack Wills, red socks knitted by my grandmother

I wish I’d never worn …
I’m a pisces. Obviously I’ve never worn anything that I’ve been remotely ashamed of.

It’s not fashionable but I like …
checkered pyjama bottoms, tweed and peep toe ankle boots

I drive/ride…
an ancient bike and sometimes by taxi

My house is….
a bit wonky as it got jogged by bombs when the allies tried to take out Berlin Scheunenviertel. It is smack-bang in the middle of the red-light district east.

My favourite work of art …
any paintings by Francis Bacon and any digital sculptures by HC Wilp

My favourite building …
is the Sears Tower, Chicago, because I give a pee in the broken elevator during my lectureship

A book that changed me …
The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky, Institute Benjamenta by Robert Walser, Der Weltverbesserer and Verstörung and the whole work by Thomas Bernhard, Vincent van Gogh’s Letters to his brother Theo, Hannah Arendt’s correspondence with Gershom Sholem

Movie Heaven …
Le Grand Bleu by Luc Besson; Ghost Dog with Forest Whitaker

The last album I bought …
the Portishead Collection

The person who really makes me laugh …
Matt Lucas und David Walliams, Urban Priol

My greatest regret…
my best friend Elfi has been brutally murdered by her daft brother at the age of 15, my partner suffered a stroke nearly one year ago

The last time I cried….
tears of joy when I ve learned that my mother survived with
cancer and my sister gets the divorce

My five-year plan…
sexwork revolution and amusement

My life in seven words…
contemplation, masturbation, penetration, unbounded imagination, love & laughter
