Pieces of Berlin 2014-2018 Book Special Edition awarded „SILVER“ at the German Photobook Prize 2019/2020 description book: "Pieces of Berlin 2014-2018" – second volume An attempt to lay out and capture a profile of berlin’s everyday life and the documentation of the current bustle and constant change of our metropolis. A recap of the last 5 years of the project on 236 pages + an additional focus on the topic living. a piece of glowing - 2016 - Lambda C-Print - 20x20cm - edition of 3 - signed certificate Florian Reischauer's project 'Pieces of Berlin' Berlin – for most younger people around the planet, nowadays the German capital amounts to the focal point of the contemporary hip and cool. Yet beyond the neo-bohemian gloss of the virtually infinite nightlife and the creative class’s sleekness in myriads of galleries and art spaces lies the other, the “normal” Berlin. And it is this still rather poor and transformative, staggeringly ordinary city that has become the obsession of 31 year old, Austrian-born, long-standing Berlin resident Florian Reischauer. With the blog “Pieces of Berlin”, founded in early 2010, Reischauer has found his very own, unique perspective on one of the world’s most interesting and marvelous cities – and, above all, its inhabitants. Approaching the average citizen with a restrained and unagitated attitude, relying on the incorruptible view of his analogue vintage camera, the artist attempts to lay out and capture a profile of Berlin’s everyday life in its entirety, thereby documenting both the current bustle and the constant change of this exciting metropolis. For the viewer, this allows a whole new, different and unexpected angle to look at a city we all seem to know so well. - Henning Lahmann Florian Reischauer (1985/Austria) lives and works in Berlin. His works were shown among others at Deutsches Haus (New York), Austrian Cultural Forum (Berlin), Pavlov’s Dog Gallery (Berlin), Pheonix Art Museum (Phoenix), Athens Photo Festival (Athens)

Leonard Cohen in love. “Desperation is the mother of poetry.” —Leonard Cohen Like most people, I remember the first time I had sex pretty well. I can recall the surprisingly adept flirting I carried off beforehand, and the moment of pleasant shock when she kissed me. I remember how we stayed in bed until three […]
I'm still working hard on my book. I'm currently writing a chapter about the complications of sketching people, who are, of course, inclined to move about. It's a problem. Even if they are pretending to be still, it never lasts. People are basically fidgets (read the text on the sketch above...). Even when they are asleep they snuffle and slide and change position to get more comfortable. Honestly. The worst ones are those who have been still as a statue for the last ten minutes, so you finally decide that they would be good to draw, but then, just when you have made your first, indelibly black mark right in the middle of the page, their friend arrives and they leave. So, what's the answer? Well, there are actually lots of different answers. None of them make people keep still, but I am looking at all the different techniques I use to get over the frustrations. For instance: don't try and create a single 'picture' but a spread which tells the story of a changing moment of time. That way, a page with lots of half-drawn sketches has a different kind of value. Like these musician drawings I was doing a couple of weeks ago in an overcrowded pub: I'm also looking at the ways in which you can make life easier for yourself. If you might have less than 5 minutes before someone moves off, you need to have instantly accessible and easy tools. A small sketchbook can be whipped out in a moment and is comfortable to use if you are standing up. Similarly, 2 or 3 coloured pencils might not seem much, but a set of 12 is no use at all to a speed-sketcher: you'll waste half your time choosing colours and the other half picking the dropped ones up off the floor. One counter-intuitive tool tip is that, even though a pencil might feel safer when the job is tricky, as it pretty much always is with people, since there's no time for rubbing out, you might just as well use ink and get the benefit of a bold mark. Another tip is that composite characters are not cheating. Whether you are drawing people buying apples at the market, paddling in the sea, or standing at a bar, you can more or less guarantee that you will have a steady supply of people turning up to strike similar poses, standing in more or less the same place. Grafting one person's legs onto someone else's torso might be a bit Silence-of-the-Lambs in real life, but in a sketchbook it's fine. That's the technique I used in the National Portrait Gallery sketch above and how I managed to capture what I did of these skater-boys: I am creating eight different spreads for the People Move! chapter of my urban sketching book, each concentrating on a different technique for dealing with movement. Some tips, like those above, deal with the problem of drawing basically stationary people who fidget or move position, other sections look at the special challenge of trying to sketch people in constant motion. I've finished half the spreads now, but still plenty to do, so I suppose I'd better stop chatting to you and get on with it!

This guide to the Twelve Steps from Dr. Stephanie S. Covington, a pioneer in the field of women’s issues, addiction, and recovery, preserves the spirit of the Alcoholics Anonymous program with a focus on healing language with women’s needs in mind. Published in 1994, A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps has long been a unique resource that helps women find their own paths in recovery—paths shaped by the way women experience not only addiction and recovery, but also relationships, self, sexuality, spirituality, and everyday life. Now, stories from five new voices expand the perspective of this recovery classic. Over the past thirty years, what it means to identify as a woman in recovery has broadened to include transgender, nonbinary, and other gender-diverse people. This new edition includes updated, inclusive language to be more trauma-sensitive and welcoming to all women. This compilation of diverse voices and wisdom from real people illuminates how women understand the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and offers inspiring stories of how they travel through the Steps and discover what works for them. The book can be used alone or as a companion to AA’s Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. By identifying and addressing the special issues that recovery presents for women, this book empowers women to take ownership of their own journeys and to grow and flourish in recovery.
