text insert with dutch or german texts:
Groping in the dark, finding their way,
Surrounded by the values and rules of family and work
Values that they must reflect to the society of today
To be able to build
a renewed society
as a Phoenix, as the time
They have dreams,
dreams that must be acted upon,
to be able to pass onto the next generation,
to their children, and their children's world
All they seek is respect
Respect for their expression
Respect for their process and their growth
I ask then also that you walk this walk
Offer the respect
And you will received much respect too
the book is part of my submission to the exhibition "walk! Spazieren gehen als Kunstform" at bethanium, berlin. my part was about organising a walk to different squatter communities around kopernickerstrasse, berlin. the participants would then converse with the representatives of the different communities, so as to have an opportunity of better insight and more empathy for each other's point of view.
