“The Goethe-Institut is the cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany with a global reach.
We promote knowledge of the German language abroad and foster international cultural cooperation. We convey a comprehensive image of Germany by providing information about cultural, social and political life in our nation. Our cultural and educational programmes encourage intercultural dialogue and enable cultural involvement. They strengthen the development of structures in civil society and foster worldwide mobility.
With our network of Goethe-Instituts, Goethe Centres, cultural societies, reading rooms and exam and language learning centres, we have been the first point of contact for many with Germany for over sixty years. Our long-lasting partnerships with leading institutions and individuals in over ninety countries create enduring trust in Germany. We are partners for all who actively engage with Germany and its culture, working independently and without political ties.”
This image was taken from atop the former crusader castle Qala’at Sanjil (also known as the ‘Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles’). It was built around 1300 AD. In the street leading to the ruins, just before the military checkpoint with heavy weaponry, we found a spot to fill with a patch.
The Phoenician Wall might well be the oldest man-made structure I have ever personally visited, within the city of Batroun, dating back to at least 5,000 years. The wall was most likely carved directly into the solid rock as a protectetion against the tidal waves and it stands there until today.
Look closely, right there in the middle: I was here.
Right next to the cathedral, under construction.
Thanks to Moshik Hayman, Eran Nave, Yaron Attar and Fumio Sakurai who invited me for their Exhibition at Darom Gallery, an artist-run project space.
