desiree: November 2010

# 1 the last point on the corporate agenda: by the way, you are fired... (2003)

# 2 being in hospital for 3 weeks due to a car accident, not being called by your first

big love & still hoping the relationship is doing fine... (2001)

# 3 experiencing your body reacts so nicely on drugs that after overcoming 3 addictions

the fear of a new one makes you stop consuming any substances... (2010)

# 4 explaining your disbelief in neoliberalism & the capitalistic system at your A-level in an

economic school & finding out that not any utopia can make these brains re-think... (1997)

# 5 singing & improvising at the student‘s first general meeting at Vienna‘s jazz conservatory.

everybody is obliged. but no tone comes out of your mouth & you have no chance to leave

the stage before the band finishes... (2004/2005)

# 6 finding out that you are too conservative & old fashioned to live in a „free love in free space“

WG in Berlin, where your comrads fuck everywhere & whenever you enter & no walls part

the flat into rooms...(2008)

# 7 you experience sleeping problems & when you get into anxiety states you leave for a

hospital. the psychiatrist looks at you with big eyes, makes you tell your story 5 times &

finally orders you to go home & go to sleep...(2005)

# 8 you are traveling on your own & after immense hitting on you, you decide to leave the

country earlier. you arrive at home & get robbed... (2003)

# 9 you have the gift to get usually invited by men who live in relationships, are shortly before

the birth of their second child or ask you to meet in their house at 11pm „to have a chat“,

while you do not look for any adventures at all...(2001 - ?)

# 10 your brain is struggling. it tries to fit you into societys’ scheme whilst at the same time

you are rebelling intensely against it, but from time to time you are still being sad because

somebody else has a model’s beauty, an albert’s intelligence or valie’s artistic intensity...
