agh, itS a topic i really like talking about, and now hereS this lady doing proper (i assume) research on it. read this article about toilet writings in the lebanon. i wonder what her findings will be & know too little about lebanese bathroom habits to even pose some worthwhile question. so letS see what sheLL find! perhaps something more edgy than the stuff i read just now, university of johannesburg. well, this harvard/comment (from harvard, obviously) is not bad -

*all hail to these detached minutes with oneself -

this impressive piece out of the genre of bathroom aesthetics really made me smile the other night in a bar called tings’n'times in pretoria. here the artist obviously contemplated for some minutes in the narrow cubicle, scratching a representation of a deer into the doorS wooden skin. yep! graffiti at its best. whoever did that – i embrace you for your love for details & your ironic sense of inscribing beauty into the most banal spaces.

a remarkable and warmhearted man passed on – we are sad. read his “der kopf des koerpers” or, of course, the kiebingen-study. he’ll stay!
