When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed...

About Me



At dusk I write about masturbating surrealists, blind fantacists, sadomasochists - life, death, sex - lost minds, lost love and lost ways...

In the dead of night I cultivate orchids...

At dawn I talk to birds...

Sometimes I curate art exhibitions and make films, sometimes I don't...
