from high fives in vacant lots
to lowlives in highrise blocks
through warm bars, easy action
to cold hearts, never passions
the future just went past us,
it's only hip-hop-diamond-trash-lust...

twenty years to go...
twenty years after the chernobyl disaster, seven artists from moskow, minsk & berlin travelled to the hostile restrickted area within the project "1986-2006" started by sergey abramchuk and vitali shkliarou who witnessed the catastrophe as a child. with their work they wanted to "commemorate a catastrophe that can happen again anytime and should not do so".
as a keen admirer of street art & photography of industrial buildings and abondaned places, it's hard for me to take my eyes off of these -and impossible to pick out just 2-3 photos.

charlotte gainsbourg & beck - heaven can wait (irm)
she’s sliding, she’s sliding down to the depth of the world
she’s fighting, she’s fighting the urge to make sand out of pearls
she's hiding, she's hiding on a battleship of baggage and bones
there's thunder, there's lightening in an avalanche of faces you know
heaven can wait and hell's too far ago
somewhere between what you need and what you know
and they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground

der letzte sieg einer generation / the last victory of a generation
the uk poll tax riots were a series of riots in british cities during protests against the community charge -commonly known as the poll tax- introduced by the conservative government led by prime minister margaret thatcher. by far the largest occurred in central london on saturday, the 31st of march, 1990, shortly before the poll tax was due to come into force in england and wales. it is thought that the riot in central london, with the countrywide opposition to the community charge -especially vehement in the north of england and scotland- contributed to the downfall of margaret thatcher,
who resigned as prime minister in november the same year. the next prime minister, john major, announced it would be abolished.
