Parents, Bert Danckaert |
Dear Bert,
I would like to set the sail with my parents.
Sincerely,
Sunmeng |

Hi Sunmeng,
Today, I phoned my parents, told them about our project and that I would stop by to take a picture.
We had a nice talk and drank some white wine.
They were looking at me, but in fact they are looking at you !
I’ll send you my ‘question’ image in the weekend.
Take care,
Bert

Dear Bert,
It was the nearly 32℃. The overseas student Berthard took off his academic dress.
BR,
Sunmeng |

Dear Sunmeng,
During a workshop in Luxembourg last Summer. The ‘local’ student Geert doesn’t even have an academic dress.
Bert
PS: don’t you think it’s more fun to make new pictures for this project instead of using our archives?
Anyway…my turn again ! |

Hi Sunmeng,
Here’s my right shoe, probably made in China.
Take care,
Bert |
|
Hi Bert,
Here is mine. The insole is with magnet, We Chinese consider this is more healthy.
Sincerely,
Sunmeng |

Dear Bert,
This is my bed, the most expensive furniture in my dorm.
And I am curious about how you keep the bugs away from your bed.
Sincerely,
Sunmeng |
|
Hi Sunmeng,
Here’s my answer and how I take care of the mosquitos (displayed on my pillow).
I’ll start thinking of a new question from now on. It might be a bit calm this week, I’ll be on a trip for a few days with the students to Germany (Cologne, Düsseldorf and Essen).
Talk to you soon. Good night, my Chinese friend. Beware of the bugs !

Hi Sunmeng,
Today I will have to clean up my studio…
Bert |
|
Hi Bert,
I don't have studio...
I charge these batteries every day. Sometimes I clean up this desk, but it will be disorder in a few days...
I'll lunch my question very soon.

This is the view of my window, outside is the wall of neighbor building. In China we call this 'Shake Hands Building', the village problem in city.
And I wonder if you have a poster in your room:)
Sunmeng |
|
Dear Sunmeng,
Not really ‘Shake Hands Buildings’, although the neighbors from the other side of the street are not very far.
You will mainly see bubble wrap in this picture. I’m preparing my show in Luxembourg and my studio is full of plastic.
Will send you my next question as soon as I have some inspiration…

Hi Sunmeng,
This is one of my photos. I made this one in Havana, Cuba in 2010.
In a few weeks I’m going back to Havana to teach a workshop and to show work.
I’m very excited. Cuba is a complicated place full of beauty and poverty.
Can you show me one of your favorite photos?

Hi Bert,
This photo is taken in the Higher Education Mega Center, Guangzhou, 2010.
I don't have it print. The back is my bookcase by the way.
It's great that you travel to such a lot of country.
