*With Infernopolis, AVL has created a terrifying setting in which medical instruments, tubes and kettles, vacuum pumps, silos and sorting trays, lacerated bodies, skulls and skeletons, human faeces and giant sperm cells and organs are the main protagonists.Infernopolis forms a new chapter in AVL's interest in issues such as autonomy, self-sufficiency, power and economy. Since its inception AVL has set out to unravel these subjects in the hope of exposing a deeper structure: the laws and rules, the organisation and codes that are usually hidden from view. 
For an extra 2 Euros you get to go there by boat. Definitely worth it!
Participants' bunk beds (to save space) from where they are stupefied by a permanent alcohol feed. In the background, the big red
Alcoholator.
Pig toilet, where pigs feed from human
faeces.

Me in the
Wombhouse. One of the ovaries houses a toilet, the other has a minibar. And in between you find a big bed that smells like freshly washed laundry.

Cradle to Cradle. Based on the concept that waste is food. It's a semi-industrial slaughterhouse and a high-tech operating room. Bones, skulls, muscle groups and organs lie on robust, brightly lit tables. The machine recycles everything, even people.

The Submarine Wharf is an amazing space and it houses this exhibition. More are on their way for the following five years!

I didn't know till my return after my summer holiday that the pink house at the Eco Kinderpark opened like this so we have a covered porch. Great for these rainy September days. I think the design is really handy and inviting for people to come and join us for coffee in the morning.
Faisan and his brother spent practically all day with us. Cheeky monkeys.
Everything's in bloom!

...a few years ago that I would love this outfit with trousers that are too short, giant leather bag, shapeless man's shirt and dorky shoes. It's perfect.
Amy and Alina came up with this idea to collect junk from everybody's home and turn this crap into beautiful things. Everyone was invited to participate. I was impressed with the results and even got to take some treasures home with me! Isn't the name of the exhibition perfect?
I've been following Tavi's blog for a while, and although I feel a strong magnetism towards this site, there was something about her and her blog that, in a way, made me feel it wasn't quite right that such a young girl (now 13, she started the blog when she was 11) has such an obsession for fashion. But I think that deep down, it was just a secret jealousy for this girl that knew more than I will ever know about, well, probably anything she sets her mind to. Her posts are normally about the outfits she creates with imaginative and personal combinations of clothes. Also about the (amazing) people she meets. We also get introduced to some of her arty friends and other entertaining elements of her life. But these collages (that are the covers of her school notebooks) just left me gobsmacked, not only at her knowledge of fashion, also art and cinema and a certain melancholy for a time that she didn't even live.
