St.Petersburg, November 12 2008 – Idea for a video piece Today I went to the Kazan cathedral again, to try to locate a priest or something who speaks English.

Novgorod – under construction
I am currently in Novgorod, until tomorrow evening. I arrived last night, and my host is able to have me until Sunday afternoon. This is just a small update from an internet place in the centre of Novgorod, but they don’t have an accessible usb port on this machine, so I’m not able to upload… Continue reading Novgorod – under construction

In storage
We packed tight, and used every available nook and cranny in the car and trailer to stuff something into, but I wasn’t able to fit all my things in the car and trailer on Monday. As a result I had to return on Tuesday to pick up the rest. I left from my parents’ place… Continue reading In storage
