PHILOSOPHY

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As both surfer and host, depending on projects and capacity to provide a place for others to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have surfed and hosted, since 2009. Many wonderful experiences, most notably a move to Baltimore which began with a magnificent host who helped me discover the secrets of a great city.

Zainteresowania

Ruins, both ancient and modern. Walking around cities, walking around far away from cities. Paintings with a quiet, intimate splendor.

Music: Cat Power, Fever Ray, Mogwai, Erik Satie

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

I made live, improvised stained glass compositions that accompanied choral music inside a church in France. The glass work was filmed and projected onto a screen behind the performers, visible to the audience inside the pews. The start of a future as broken sacred glass VJ.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

If we have enough time I can show you how to make a stained glass window.

Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami

Conversation, hugs, gemlike shards of broken glass, a watercolor of your city
