It was my second time in Kassel, not visiting the documenta but instead the cosplay event. For the first time I used a digital equipment for my portraits which I had to get used to. But tech talk beside I realised that the main problem was, as so often, that many girls did not know…
I visited Düsseldorf for the first time a couple of years ago with a friend from Art University who used to study there.
