(Denn du bist verrückt genug, um dich in dieser Welt zu verlieben.  Aber die Welt ist viel verrückter als du und fast wär etwas von uns geblieben.)
2022


After the end of a short, intense relationship, I sent him a file via mail. He 
confirm the successful delivery with a return receipt. All I had left were the documentation of the file and the return receipt. This documentation was presented at Galerie M, Berlin in the form of a police station in an old refrigerated warehouse, and at the Localize Festival, Potsdam, in the form of a Telekom office that had been vacant for twenty years.


The file contains:
- analogue photograph of the object
- passport photo of the subject, 2 photographs of a bouquet of flowers (1st in vase, 2nd in trash can)
- booklet with all photographs I sent him via Signal
- 15-page final report
- Polaroid photograph of two ceramic dolphins
- Wikipedia entry about Jacques Lacan
- all the notes/poems I wrote during the period
- a bag of bread crumbs (in case we get lost)
