"Diapräsentation" has moved
“Diapräsentation” has moved and is now part of Projektemacher.org . This makes it the first of my old Tumblr blogs to be migrated to Hugo .
The old Tumblr page will remain, since there may still be some links pointing to it…
In the area of slides I haven’t done much for about a year now, so there is now a new blog with my best finds from flea markets and junk shops in and around Göttingen.
Outlook
Over the next few days a few more entries will appear in this blog that I have been too lazy to write so far, but then that’s it for here for the time being. New projects are already waiting — here is a blurry (on purpose) image as a preview:
Stereo, just differently…
Talk
Another flea market find has slipped into my net. Apparently there were ready-made slide talks in the GDR, simply delivered as a set of slides and audio tapes. Plainly declared as mass propaganda. If you can say more about this, please write via the “Ask” function above. I would love to learn more about it…
Whether I will now go and acquire a tape recorder for this, I don’t know yet.
Screen
A visit to the local flea market has led to some interesting new acquisitions. A screen!

The “Perlwand 125” by Brillant was originally ordered for 47.50 DM from Neckermann, as can be seen from the original packaging.

Very interesting. Watch it!
Even More Slides!
After a " mishap" on the part of my landlord’s property management brought me to the Göttingen recycling yard for the first time today, I can understand more and more the fascination for the supposedly old, for the “garbage”. So my collection now includes motifs on the theme of starting school, presumably from the early 90s. As well as the work of probably two photographers:
- Travel pictures from Greece and the Alps, with an interest in aeroplanes, probably their own VW bus, the concrete bunkers emerging at the time, and massive overexposure. Hard to date, 70s or 80s
- A similar period, though rather underexposed, family pictures
The former is of course particularly well suited for presenting text in front of it, the latter might be usable as an in-between image…
New Slides and Slide Mounts
The slide enthusiast Thomas Heinemann has once again provided me with a set of slides. This time: “The Holy Land”. With beautiful excavation motifs that can surely be put to good use for a talk on software refurbishment some day — and along with it came a whole lot of empty mounts, into which I can now assemble better fixed compositions of text and images myself. Unfortunately I had another appointment and therefore couldn’t stay to finish watching the great movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou? ” with him.
More Slides
Today, before the Black as Chalk concert at the Musa , I was given some more slides, presumably motifs from a Christian youth camp in the mid-90s. Here’s a preview of tonight:
