I presented my ideas on a project about the theme of Lustmord in Germany. This introductory presentation included a short poem and a single photograph as a jumping off point.

	One of the quotes that caught my interest in this subject ~~and started my journey~~ was the following; "The sheer number of canvases from the 1920s with the title Lustmord (Sexual Murder) ought to have been a source of wonder for Weimar’s cultural historians." - from Maria Tatar, ''Lustmord: Sexual Murder in Weimar Germany''. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1995. xii + 213 pp.		One of the quotes that caught my interest in this subject was the following; "The sheer number of canvases from the 1920s with the title Lustmord (Sexual Murder) ought to have been a source of wonder for Weimar’s cultural historians." - from Maria Tatar, ''Lustmord: Sexual Murder in Weimar Germany''.

	~~As you can see from my notes one week ago my~~ project continues to evolve and change~~. It's been a very inspired, synchronicity filled week for me which included several insightful conversations with classmates (Amel, Eleana and Kata) as well as some of the other artists in~~ the ~~exhibition at Marienstraße 2~~.		My project continues to evolve and change during the installation process. One of my biggest break through moments was when I decided to use a peep-hole as a way to view the installation. I was reading from George Grosz's autobiography and he wrote about looking thru peep-holes at carnivals as a child and how this inspired him to become an artist. I discovered a connection between my research subject, George Grosz, the theme of Lustmord and the medium of the peep-hole as a way to explore these themes in an architectural 3D format.

	One of my biggest break through moments was when I decided to use a peep-hole ~~after~~ a ~~conversation with Eleana in her studio - and later that same evening~~ I was reading from George Grosz's autobiography and he wrote about looking thru peep-holes at carnivals as a child and how this inspired him to become an artist. ~~In this moment of synchronicity~~ I ~~had pieced together an interesting~~ connection between my research subject, George Grosz, the theme of Lustmord and the medium of the peep-hole as a way to explore these themes in an architectural 3D format.

	Another moment of discovery occurred when I was moving the full body mirror around inside the room with the help of Amel. At some point it was rather close to the door and when I looked thru the peep-hole I saw the mirror with no reflection of myself even though I was facing the mirror! The feeling was quite surreal to see the doorway in the mirror but not to see myself. All of a sudden I felt transported into some alternate dimension thru this hole in the door. I could imagine a ghost of myself sitting in this empty chair in front of the mirror.
