From 16:00 to 17:00, Boddinstr. Berlin, Germany
I was originally going to meet Eliza in Switzerland but I couldn’t make it, some weeks after she wrote me and told me that she was in Berlin for a poetry exhibition/reading that she was organizing. I imagined at first that she was Swiss but it turns out that she isn’t, but she doesn’t want to focus on her origins since she does not feel linked to any country in particular but considers herself a citizen of the world.

Eliza is a Iyengar yoga teacher and a poet who not only writes poetry but also creates installations with living poetry. She believes that poetry is something that you live as much as you write it. She spends her time in three homes in India, Switzerland and Berlin. She is also a Tibetan Buddhist and a photographer who believes in living here on this planet now.

From 14:30 to 17:11, Warschauerstr. Berlin, Germany
Swedish writer currently starting her own business as an author.
She came to live in Berlin in January 2006 because she fell in love with the city on an earlier visit and feels at home here, this is the only place she has felt homesick for when she’s away.
She is currently writing a novel (in Swedish) and other writings such as performance texts (in German), and short stories and other writings (in English). She also writes bios and texts for musicians and other people for their websites.
The idea behind this photo was for me to come as myself and be interviewed by her (about thousand lives and other projects). This way we could both participate and in each others lives and projects and document it at the same time. To see some of her writings, visit her blog.
