The Bonsai men of Cologne




This photograph has amused me since I made it over twenty years ago in Germany. The weather was very overcast, which merged the tonality of the table tennis table with that of the footpath... Aware of this strange illusion, I noticed these men who were deep in conversation as they strolled alongside the Rhine. I then took up a position where I might snap them as it were 'on the table'. This was long before I'd heard of Photoshop...

You know we had a group exhibition "Kaleidoscope" in Cologne on 19th March? But still i am not sure i can go on the opening since we still don't get the sponsorship for the airfare. Philip is helping us to bring the show to its 3rd part in Liverpool, and i know Cologne and Liverpool are sister cities, Liverpool and Shanghai are sister cities, because the 4th part will come to 2010 in Shanghai.
