Sweet Transience – Mono no aware

Late summer fever: go out every day. It doesn’t matter what else is going on. Go out, paint, squint into the sun. Feel the warmth and the absurdity of life at the same time. You can’t stop time, yet you do it anyway.

Dimensions: 50 × 38 cm*
Date: 28 September 2026

About this seria

One detail about the Ballhaus Watzke kept drawing me back: its more elaborate Neo-Renaissance façade faces Leipziger Straße, while the side overlooking the Elbe appears quieter and more restrained.

Perhaps that is part of the fascination. Why does a building that many Dresden residents still remember as a place of music, dancing and summer evenings present its grand face to the street rather than the river?
