#16 Coca-Cola Holy Water
- Paula von SethA local Zambian dance performance with African masks in variations of black and white. The children sob and roar. Their expressions of fear and their screams in a foreign language sink deep down inside me. Why the masks seem to terrify them so, I cannot understand. It is a game, but still and all, it isn't. The black children I usually play with glance at us.

#4 For The Love Of Foucault
- Marcus SteinwegWhy Michel Foucault? Because philosophy in Foucault's sense is a PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, an act of solitude.
The solitude of the subject of philosophical experience has nothing to do with pathetic or narcissistic, depressive
self-enclosure. The solitude of the philosophical subject is an act of resistance. The subject resists the easiness of
mere opinion. It opens itself to new experiences, the EXPERIENCE OF THE NEW SELF.

#1 "I Have Never Seen A Girl Wearing a Muslim Headscarf on Television Without It Being About The Scarf..."
- A conversation with Rikke Andreassen by Ellen NymanI am at an art exhibition in Germany, watching an educational fi lm on how to use a condom for protection against
AIDS. The film is from South Africa. One of the women at the lesson giggles and smiles shyly, as she pulls a
condom over a wooden phallus. Her friends are in stitches and the situation exudes lust and
powerlessness. I am watching the film, surrounded by happy German art lovers. But they are no longer looking at
the film. They are looking at me with well-meaning expressions on their faces.
