techniques of irish stands almost from day one. irish dancing shoes are made out of leather and they also have a tape that is made out of ceramic and here that is made out of plastic and using these 2

generation of irish dance. birds of a feather flock together and it is precisely in these moments that danish photographer saren pulls out his camera the images he captures of starlings in flight look like giant creatures or even abstract paintings in the sky well what started out as a temporary project for this photographer has turned into a journey lasting several years. you wait for a week or 2 weeks nothing couples but then within a few seconds everything changes and suddenly the sky explodes. it is one of the most exciting things i've ever experienced in my life. my name is sun sorcha i'm

lot of research to find out where the birds are. all i can do is research and turn up and then hope for the best. i've been out probably a 120 days in the last 4 years and i probably have between 5 and 10 very good nights. i saw starting memory since when i was a little kid my parents took me to the west coast that much when i was 10 that was an image that never left me really. and i did portraits for 25 years. i suddenly it came to me that i wanted to go back to see those starlings and try to photograph them. continues to make portraits as well he's taking photos of celebrities like

hard to remember plan to exhibit selections photos of danish pop stars but the pictures of the black sun series made such an impression on him that he changed his plan we know what's going on we can explain it and at the same time we see something which is so incredibly beautiful that it is difficult to comprehend. 0 because planned to spend one week with the starlings turned into a 4 year project with every picture is totally different i have not in 4 years experienced the same most have twice. so that gives me great incentive to keep going and i'm far from done with this project i

rural austria. tortillas and top are what most people think of when they talk about spanish food but when visiting the canary islands there's a greater x. like to mix now although the canary islands are part of spain they are geographically closer to africa so when it comes to food you can find specialties there that you can't find anywhere else. the island of ground. whether you're high up in the mountains or down exactly the fishing villages food is a big deal on the canaries 3rd largest island a cuisine influenced by the archipelagos location off the african coast and the mild climate here we find unique dishes like hot or well. really other. us out of dallas are potatoes with a spicy sauce the good egg on those leaders near the capitol must pomus also serves what is probably the most famous canary inside dish carlotta d.s. race us uses local potatoes because they're the only ones to develop that characteristically wrinkly skin when they're cooked in salt water i get happy every refinery in the canary and in general this skinny the tastiest part of the pop us out of got us because that's where the flavor is the salt and the mocha sauce. another thing at the moment. the potatoes are served with a sauce made from garlic chilies and peppers. oh short drive away this mill in santa but i gotta get busy producing these staple of canady and cuisine feel flour it's made from roasted grains mostly corn some mailers still produce it by hand to this day like jose antonio hernandez he only has the help of antique machines. it all go among i do everything by hand i clean your corn i serve it i put it in the machine to roast i take the book it and put it in at the top we're working hard so this isn't lost because this is gold for a canary and this is gold the hotel arguable cannot do it. jose antonio has none does sells the flour to clients. from all around the island they take it home to have it for breakfast with milk or to bake it or cook it one of the favorites is real is that bill in the pits a typical canary dish. goldfield puree is a traditional mix of goal feel and vegetable dishes or meat. dairy peano had none of those cooks this dish every sunday at the. shop though. she likes to serve it with spearmint nomo sauce and onions these will be used as spoons. to get it undergoes enough so you know you love to cook the smells remind me of my childhood and when the english and the germans come i love watching them eat because they eat with so much gusto and then they think me. these customers from germany are trying go feel as though for the 1st time. it's a very rich delicious taste but it's also appealing at 1st it's a bit weird. but it goes well together everything melts in your mouth so it was very good. for dessert we continue to the center of the island to the village of take. this region is known for its allman trees and it's treats. and we're going to get it and this is. very good. b.n. mesaba it literally means that tastes good to me cook maybe and has developed one of the most successful recipes for this allman cream. first she needs to heat up lemon water. then she adds the famous take it all modes. finally she adds some egg yolks. who says it is ok what my mother in law and the people of the head not taught me is that you have to cook it to the right point but as i didn't look at you need to know that it's done you need to smell like moments like good on and as we say here so. needs to cool for a few days but 1st a taste test. going through excellent it's very good. but it reminds me of my childhood of our landscapes. i'm not proud of our allman trees it's heavenly people didn't see one of my. gran canaria as cuisine is just as diverse as its landscape i'm out no enjoy your meal or as the canary and say. preparations are all. looks good all right and finally we've been living in a pandemic for a year now and if you had to represent your feelings from living in lockdown in an artwork well what would that artwork look like well for me it would resemble something like the scream or one german artist has found a unique way to make a statement about the liberties which have been curtailed during this time his installations with mannequins like this one here have been popping up all over germany now we met up with the artist to find out more about this project. it's been fun to her i saw it and immediately thought that it had something to do with corona not so it would not. actually i thought it was about discounts and so i could get some stuff because of the color of the stuff and it's a group of people women children men and even animals everyone is master these days . so you don't recognize people anymore very good art it's colorful and that's why it brings joy to the heart and that's what we're missing. at 11 am right in front of the joe. and his team set up $111.00 mannequins he calls his installation it is like it is a symbol for the corona pandemic and its social effects. and represents the movement restrictions that we have during these carona times we can't do what we'd like to do and move around the way that we're used to especially in times of crisis we see how our lives can change and things we have taken for granted can suddenly become a thing of the past. the pedestrian area around the cologne cathedral is just one of the many places to stage his money. since the beginning of the pandemic last year they've already toured more than 30 german cities. placed in front of the. conquered. and occupied the old land bridge and. the figures wrapped in red and white warning tape symbolize social distancing and the standstill of public life. even on the ski slope. own limits of the mannequins come from different places for example from boutiques that have had to close their doors during the pandemic but also from a hobby hardware store that had to shut down so i was able to buy all the mannequins at a reasonable price messick studies it along a stream for a city of art to social sciences. he specializes in sculptures made of materials such as wood which he works on with a chainsaw as well as metal construction. it's a. it's like it is is his 1st public installation later this year a book of photographs on the project is to be published the manikins experience what many cannot join in a pandemic. for example they go club and. hang out at bass together. take a trip to the city. most recently the dolls were the only ones to celebrate the colonial carnival as it had to be canceled to the regret of many just to give you an idea this is one of the places like not subject it's lucky that this touring installation can take place independently of temporarily close cultural institutions and it carries a message. worth a part of culture are also something for the mind you might not even consciously realize that it stimulates and inspires you mentally in different ways but you notice that you're lacking it somehow. in a dentist years if messick will be awarded the creator creativity prize in spirit for this project and if conditions permit he plans to take his mannequins own tools to other countries. and with
