Plastic Sound For Mermaids
The ocean was dreaming of a mermaid
With a comb of pearl combing her hair
Singing of immortal love
A big, blue fish
Sat on the shore
Chanting a lore
About the endurance
Of plastic bottles
In the deep blue of the sea
And in the white sand of the dunes
Motives in the Video:;
Created from discarded plastic bottles, these giant fish make a powerful environmental
statement as they emerge from the sands of Botafogo beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
This year, the city of Rio is hosting the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, also
called Rio+20, and these giant fish were created to mark the occasion. Hundreds of
plastic bottles sparkle in the sun and, at night, the sculptures are illuminated with
colorful blue and red LED lights that twinkle against the backdrop of the beach as a
monumental reminder to recycle.
The three fish represent the importance of recycling and the risks that plastic bottles
have on our natural environment, specifically on animals that live in the sea.
According to the event website, between 60 and 80 percent of debris in the sea is from
plastic products. The sculpture encourages people to rethink how they approach recycling
and to protect our natural resources.

St. Oberholz in Berlin from Yollarda on Vimeo.
Franz Bieberkopf was here
Drank his beer
Go to the ladiesrooms in St. Oberholz
Refresh your lipstick
Listening to Hans Paetsch
Reading Hui Buh
The story of Balduin, the knight
Transformed to the ghost of a castle
Once upon a time in the 1970th
When we were watching Hitparade
And listening to the Radio
Of the British Military Forces in Germany
The Aischinger brothers August and Carl opened the first public venues for drinking beer in Berlin 1892. The building at Rosenthaler Platz was the ninth place, built in 1898, where you could have snacks and a beer for 10 Pfennig (5 Cent). Alfred Döblin describes the place in his novel “Berlin Alexanderplatz”. Aischinger lost their good name with taking over the “”Haus Vaterland” from the jewish Kempinski Family. In 1947 when the building was in the Sowjet ruled sector it got part of the state owned gastronomy HO. After the reunification 1989 Burger King owned the beautiful building, later it got a table dance bar. In 2005 Ansgar Oberholz opened a venue for the digital Bohéme. Young Creatives from Germany and from all over the world come to live and work here and around Rosenthaler Platz.
