‘Building Beyond Success’ (collaboration with Anne Pöhlmann), Clages, Cologne – 2009
Welcome crisis! Welcome, because we need you, welcome because we love you and because we can’t live without you. Using the right melody this can even be a nice song, a song that we could play to celebrate the „grand global crisis“ that occupies the world today, crisis that everyday hits our ways and is glamorously announced in the news by beautiful lips and fresh …

Ordo Amoris Cabinet ‘The Gabinete Ordo Amoris’ by Orlando Hernández –1999
There are many ways in which to understand the life of a country and many ways to explain it. One of these – and the only one of interest to us here – is through the observation and study of its every day objects, these being of great significance to some, of none to others. And I do not refer to those objects we normally …

Ordo Amoris Cabinet by Ariella Yedgar –1998
Luxury is rarely experienced by contemporary Cubans. In fact, it seems so remote that even the idea of design, as we understand the term, seems like a luxury. Cuba is a society that has had to rely on selfsufficiency to survive – blockaded by America and isolated from a dwindling community of sympathetic states, it remains an anachronistic emblem of the once noble ideals of …
