creativity and ambition helped him win the master chef colin arie innovator award but there's another ingredient to. god i know. he has a talent that few others have. he can bring things to dishes that can't be explained. and which you simply can't learn to do either. but with all his talent for innovation to do no says there is still one restaurant he hasn't tried yet. when i was a big fan of german cuisine of down to earth german food i grew up with because i experienced all that in daycare when i came here. as a vietnamese immigrant it's always been my dream to give the berliners back good true berlin restaurant. joining me patty is and

treat depending on the design. the chairs are mainly harvested in spring because that's the best time to remove the bark. then they need another two years to dry out schmidt experimented for years to perfect the shapes. of any good soft off because i've discovered if you do things for example how to regulate the flow of sound and how to specifically control how thick the branches grow. this x. redirects the cep so the branches form a heart i only buy me not all trees cooperate there are some that just don't want to like well known elm i found all this stuff out. there a few suitable types i use maple and hazelnut hornbeam is good to know certain trees are my friends the ones that are blind to find that the. chairs

eighty eight. months is photographing something close to his heart his own solo exhibition. the exhibition is constantly changing under the varying a light will focus on right now the sunlight is creating a new kind of stage for. the construction in hamburg is hosting the retrospective of the german photographer with a selection of works from the past thirty years. but one piece is new a glass display case with stones next to it the same stones but photographed. at first it seems amazingly simple or easy and. i had this idea that it could be disarming placed alongside each other in such a haphazard way. because it suddenly makes the photography same cell flat.

even a quarter it shows how little photography has to do with true reality photography is just an interpretation of reality. the exhibition attests to the scope of tillman's subjects and styles. the show encompasses not only photos but also videos sounds objects and light and dark rooms. as uses space creatively to with an unexpected dimension time. it's all about the moment which in an instant has already become the past. can time really be grasped at all. the other momentous go on and place every moment is a sum of infinite experiences taking place around the globe and these are not just infinite forwards and backwards in time. because now is seen and experienced so

differently by so many people that there is neither a starting point nor completeness. and in the exhibition i think i've tried to capture a feeling for time. and then go through. in that composed a sound loop with his own vocals combined with the pictures it strikes a meditative almost sacred chord. the. the elemental force of the sea. and his signature conceptual style presented as a giant photo print unframed in simply to the wall. by me or it's more about the tension between fragility and awesome power on.

the large image is there in front of you and coughed but it's actually orly fragile . it's actually only fixed to the wall with five small tags. and you realize it's nothing more than a thin skinned i don't know how. to use you stillman's painted made clothes and composed music then he discovered photography is all encompassing understanding of the art form breaks ponderous and is sensitive inside reveals the beauty in small things. like fire tomatoes. best i feel for the king standing. by. objects just sitting there so crudely like this come on it's hard. you can't really want that they wanted that often or i was open to them. and the whole thing is held together with this diagonal cross. on.

personally i'm really pleased and grateful for the picture because it's not obvious that i'm still interested in things. the moment voice. if i were only caught in my own world and i didn't notice how things really are. or if i didn't open myself up to things on the outside. and i couldn't take interesting pictures anymore. now and i know you're a mac series extras who you view is send us out to explore destinations on your behalf today it's a viewer from uruguay who got in touch with us bella lives there and he wants to know more about slovenia the country is an increasingly popular destination love for its picturesque villages and untouched countryside it's landlocked but for

a small portion on the mediterranean which features a bike path right along the shore. so we sent our reporters out on a cycling tour to cruise along the coast. of. the river. with a warm welcome to coper tour guide. greets her group for the start of their bike tour along the coast. the medieval town center of coper is certainly worth taking a stroll through or in this case a ride. the narrow alleyways old houses and splendid palaces bear witness to the town's past under venetian rule. the longest section of the route runs along a former railway line it's known as the part and santa for the path of health and friendship. the one hundred sixteen kilometer trail connex be

a talian city of tryst with slovenia and croatia first stop. we are now in a. as you can see it's an old fishing town. in the sea and fishing have always dominated life in this town meant traveled out to sea and brought fish and other foods back to. their wives stated helm to preserve and sell the fish. the tour continues. even on hot days there is usually a pleasant sea breeze blowing across the cycle route. the town of pier on slowly comes into view many consider it the crown jewel of the slovenian coast. it's also the setting of a popular love story when a wealthy venetian fell for a poor local beauty the locals gossiped about the disparity in their social

standings this upset the young woman and so the venetian romeo. built his juliet a mansion like those in his hometown engraved with the words lost so dear let them talk. and so the story found its happy ending. impede on the locals have always lived from fishing but there is another source of income. that is computed there just like good things or as a coastal town of a town is lively right now but it wasn't always like that even in the last century the town was always deserted in summer. that's because of the nearby salt. on the season there started at the end of april around st george's day the patron saint of put on. entire families packed up and moved to their houses on the salt bands for

the summer and for six months they performed the arduous task of salt mine before returning to pan out in full on. the salt pan still stretch along the coast today slovenians are just as proud of their sea salt as they are of their olive oil. so the last stop on the bike tour is the farm run by nina for god and her family they've prepared something for their visitors. time to sample the delights as i'm about this close look at but i mean that with that we're going to enjoy the olive oil from proper tasting license. with that here's how you do it but i mean with that you know hold the glass in your hand to warm the oil. and swill it gently on as a bit of. something living with the cold the smell it'll put your whole nose into the glass it's melts. like freshly cut grass on the tip of course. if it's meals like that we can taste it.

i say the two o'clock i think the totally gone call what did you taste when did you get all bitterness and exactly that's the antioxidants they're good for the body and these antioxidants have that bitter taste. like typical slovenian treats served to welcome guests olive oil trouble salt and bread . a simple yet delicious. the day is drawing to a close the cycling tourists raise their glasses in a toast to the end of their tour. well my cycle ride home certainly contemplate with that that's all from us today
