Who is this?
A clear, unambiguous photo, well-lit, frontal or three-quarters, colour-corrected but with no obvious filters, optionally black and white, with a pleasant yet serious expression–the perfect portal to give a sense of personal connection & empathy, a sense of the person behind the page. This is not that, though. In lieu: a verbal description. Furrowed brows; questionable fashion sense; How to spot Dimitri in the wild: found most frequently in the Berlin, Germany metropolitan area, by day often glued to notebook or laptop, writing, thinking, or programming, or making strange undulations, utterances, facial expressions in a rehearsal room. Spotting is easier in transit, flying across town from appointment to rendezvous. A touch of sweat at the curly temples and antique black topcoat flapping in the breeze are good distinguishing marks. Set up a blind in U-Bahn yellow or Berlin street grey. By night, seek at Neukölln poetry readings, Kreuzberg happenings, or in attendance at even stranger, art-science installations. The best strategy, however, is to contrive an invitation to a salon, send sufficiently enigmatic post, or contact with any desired pretense.
