PERFECTION
July 6, 2026

It basically started back in Neptunbad with another New Models Podcast and a Freestyle Dirt Motocross TV broadcast on one of the screens above. They always serve as the perfect window into parallel worlds. Dean Kissick was complaining about life and the art world and people and then he started talking about Adam Curtis and i had to go back and check and indeed one month after the podcast Curtis had published Shifty. And you can find all episodes on YouTube. 

Shifty is, according to the Guardian columnist Lucy Mangan, a "purely UK-focused dissection of recent history, built around the idea that the growing atomisation of society has ushered in an age in which the concept of a shared reality on which we can all depend has dissolved – and with it any hope of a functioning democracy."

I thoroughly enjoyed the texts that Christian Kracht as guest professor helped with that got published in Das Wetter. Enjoyed the Holzinger-cover of 023c too. Read Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico, I like Fitzcarraldo Editons eve since i read this New Yorker article by chance, read Ben Lerner and only found out later that Transcriptions is about Alexander Kluge – dctp streaming to my Kinderzimmer at night.
