The '59 Sound


A building by architect Hundertwasser.
Darmstadt, Germany. 2007
Medium format film.

My grandpa (my mum's father) has spent his entire working life assembling cars at the Opel production plant in Rüsselsheim, which is close to Darmstadt. That's probably the reason why I'm into cars, too.

What is the dome type roof made from? It almost looks like a balloon?! Yay for awesome cars!

Hmmm... I'm not sure. I'd say some kind of metal. That type of roof is called "onion dome". They're very popular in Eastern Europe.

In der Tat passt Holga gut zu Hundertwasser... :-)

Nicht unbedingt, aber er hat mich definitiv dafür begeistert.
