Monja Gentschow – Kurzurlaub, Opens Nov. 17th, 6 – 9pm, Berlin


the highlights of my childhood days were
the family’s all-inclusive tours
my sister and i would browse through catalogues
and select the hotel (according to the pool)
endless seas of parasols, a poolside,
colorful drinks from the hotel bar,
turquoise water and 90ies chairs became
the symbols of my longings
head vacation?
ignoring the news because too sensitive
nowadays, if we need a short break
we escape into the vacations of others on instagram
italy, dolce vita – LA, palms and pools –
mykonos, parasols and cliffs
a time of relaxation for me and
the audience
the beautiful, carefree and simple
inspired by your holiday picture
