(Red Hook, 2013)

-In this city, there are people from all over the world. No body cares who you are and where you are from.

-One of the great things about this country, is that everyone is a immigrant, and everyone is an American.

-New York is a melting pot.

-Multi-culturalism.

-Oh you are from Taiwan? Interesting!

-Lots of people came to this country to take over our jobs, and they didn’t even try to learn English!

-Immigrants are hard working people, they do jobs that the locals don’t want to do. We Americans are lazy.

-My country is beautiful! Nice people, great food and the weather is super. You ask me why am I here? You know, we don’t have democracy, our politics is messed up, it is not safe in my country.

-Freedom of speech.

-It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.

-I have nothing against China and Russia but I am constantly worried about their human rights issues.

-Because of my Jewish background, my interest is to research the trauma of the Holocaust.

-We live in a time of 2.0.

-Twitter and the Arab Spring.

-Social protests in Latin America.

-Post-Soviet art.

-Branding and Americanization.

-DIY, hacking and Culture-jamming.

-The Chinese are coming!

-I am really interested in Eastern philosophy. It’s much more calm, much more balance with the nature. Do you know a guy called LaoZi?

-I am an artist myself. You can describe me as a creative person.

-Excuses me sir, I am heading back home but now I just need one dollar to take the underground. I can give you my address and telephone!

-Do you have a spare cigarette please?

I like people’s attitude toward national flags. I appreciate the simple logic behind it, which reminds me of Mississippi slave owners: to show your passion with something, the best way is to hang them everywhere.
