sther and Sarah travelled together with Rodney from one
party gig and event to the next for
over half a year. This encouraged an
intense and very personal view on
Rodney’s life which has been docu-
mented in many photo shots.

JAPAN Now
Creativity and design is a mean to express
emotions and thoughts and communicate those to others. In the initiative »JAPAN Now« Matthias Grieder, owner of the
Zeitvertrieb Gallery called artists to design
posters, in which the Japanese flag is interpreted according to the catastrophe in 2011,
but remains recognizable.
104
The title »JAPAN Now« refers to the situation after the tsunami and its aftermath: the
earthquake, the destruction, the many victims. And the (still threatening) nuclear collapse, that should us all make think.
»JAPAN Now« is setting signs – against nuclear power and pro global solidarity – and the
sale of the posters will be donated to help
the victims of the disaster in Japan.

”This generally happens when one eats
cake, but alice had got so much into the
way of expecting nothing but out of the
way things to happen, that it seemed quite
dull and stupid for life to go on in the
common way.“

Oh, WICKED WANDA! was a
British full-color, satirical adult
comic strip, written by Frederic
Mullally and drawn by Ron Embleton published by Penthouse Editions

very personal one: ”When I was

society. WICKED WANDA as the
female ICON is also a desired object
and her objectification is part of the
visual deformation that is promoted
by gender imbalance in our culture.
On one hand so much more generous these days in showing visual
perversion, on the other a certain
kind of showing deformation in our
society.
