“ In 1928 in the Prawda, newspaper, Tretyakov called on all children in the Soviet Union to reach into the pockets of their trousers at three o’clock on Wednesday afternoon and take out what they found there, to then write down how the items got there. In this way, he believed, a truthful picture of a given moment in time would emerge. Wouldn’t it be fabulous to achieve something like that today! “ (Lothar Trolle 1995)

„We have to learn to dream, you have to learn to dream your way out of all kinds of shit. People who sit in front of the TV with their eyes closed, well, they’re the most dangerous of all!“
