CityScapes Blog

Welcome to the Goethe-Institut CityScapes Blog.

12 cities
36 artists
12 themes

From January through December 2011, these were the parameters for a playground of diverse, fascinating, vibrant tales: Responding individually to a collective impetus, a host of hand-picked young bloggers uploaded photos, texts, and multimedia. Every month, they were given a new theme. Step by step, they created a kaleidoscope of impressions, opinions, ideas and… plain fun.

This project has now ended. If you like what you see, you may want to check out the brand new
CityTales Comic Blog.

Tonight I'm fed up with your world

By To Van Nga

I’m in the garden, talking with trees
you’are sufferring with the party
with strangers
the ones not smiling

talking about new plots just bought
car
stock
and penthouse

“ I will buy all stocks of yours
Right now
with any price
agree?
….” They could tell you…

talking about new plots just bought

“ I will buy all stocks of yours
Right now
with any price
agree?
….” They could tell you…

Tonight I’m tired with your world
of strangers
surrounded by luxury
fast money earners
without good maner
people who rule
people who 80 % you ignore after the first meeting

Could we ever have fun in this city without paying?
restaurant
or just for a cup of tea
please don’t take it personally
but
tonight I’m fed up with your world...
