some of my personal favorites:
Little big man
Sep 23, 2008
From my fifth until my 16th I set out every year with my parents on a holiday trip to France. We had huge a orange tent and a station car with a metal construction on top that my father filled with a one meter pile of plastic chairs, a table and loads of toys and other junk. Squeaking under the tremendous weight it was carrying, the car would sink around twenty centimeters and it's probably a miracle the axes never broke on the way.

Now, let's talk about football
Jun 15, 2008
To stand in the middle of the arena and let the cheers and buzz of the crowd run through you; to feel the grass, control your breathing, know where your teammates are, blindly, at any time; to experience the game as if it were in slow motion, seeing every action before it happens. That’s when you truly inhabit the game; that is Zinedine Zidane in his best days.

Empire: a reconstruction
Apr 12, 2008
Andy Warhol filmed the Empire State Building on a summer night in 1964 from the 41st floor of the Rockefeller Foundation, which is just a couple of blocks away. The film is an 8-hour static shot of the building. Nothing happens and after 7 hours foreplay, Empire rises to a climax when the building’s floodlights, which highlight the top, are switched on.

in short
Point of view is a group weblog that I iniated in February 2007 and that ran for two inspiring years until December 2008.
Point of view was designed to be a platform to articulate ideas and worldviews, but also as a framework for collective practice. The authors wrote on backgrounds, research and interests that ran through their practice. As such, the weblog functioned as a tool to develop, sketch and articulate concepts and thoughts that emerged through ones work and worldviews.
Point of view consisted of: Katja Aglert (SE), Martijn van Berkum (NL), Sergio Davila (MEX), Po Hagström (SE), Janna Holmstedt (SE), Fedrik Öhrn (SE/TH), Antonio Scarponi (IT).
