Mastering
Gravity

With our feet on the empty seat in front of us, Richard and I sit under the vast cupola of the planetarium in Prenzlauer Allee. A starry rain falls on us from the sky. And while the tiny artificial stars fall over us I ask quietly, "What is art, Richard?"

"I don't know. An act which is certainly connected with mastering gravity, but which is not flying," says Richard.
