over the years. that how does that state it have on something is in constant flux i'd say the red light district image which now plays a role in many tourists perceptions and in marketing strategy it's very much influenced by the 1970 s. and eighty's and sticks that he says stuff and i think i've gotten. lots of clichés emerge then. for example the gold chains mullet hairdos and so. on survivor to nobody because with these cliches they try to attract tourists by saying we have a red light district we have gangsters that like you just some people but only i think so. we have the some poly museum don't think of ourselves in that realm but we try to present everything in the development of the district and we try to enable visitors to understand how certain myths were formed him push them to written off and some are just myths and some are cliches he sees to counter that

the museum shows portraits of women who have shaped. but some didn't so what should they do to earn a place on the wall i haven't his it and here we see susie rich she and her husband own susie show bar and i think it's the only table dancing establishment under female management to get. to him and i find that quite important finish from the top does have business run differently they say so as a better or worse fairer system what the women who work there say is clearly yes ok . it is there anything you would like to see changes. in time just right now i want to stop rents from rising so it remains possible for these things to develop new shoes and spaces where unusual concepts still have a chance and that's. why i'm a new place and for up wouldn't have been here concept i know i'm. otherwise i

think we should all recognize the value of a district that has experienced so much freedom and retained it over the centuries that it's rational and the liberties we have are worth protecting. it is and. done thanks that sums it up nicely. we regularly visit spectators who show us the sights of their hometowns in today's media local thought we went to houston texas it's the 4th largest city in the united states and it bourse interesting architecture and graffiti art as well as a space center. how do you welcome in houston my name is gonzo 247 i'm a graffiti street artist here in the city born and raised and i'm looking forward to showing you my favorite parts of the city.

so you might think you know houston usually when you think of it though you think cowboys horses and barbecue which we have but not all the times you think of it is street art houston is a great time it's a great place and it's really open to the arts. so here we are right in the middle of downtown and you can see everything is bigger in texas we have the architecture we have the theater district we have everything you can eat the diversity is here this is our symphony texas size. ok we are downtown houston amongst the tower and skyscrapers tranquility park a nice a waste of green space for the everyday person to enjoy inspired by the 1st phrase spoken from the moon houston tranquility base here that eagle has landed.

one of the things i love about tranquility park really the name says it all if you can listen around you hear the nicest kind of coldness of the water it's very refreshing very soothing it's a really good place to come you have a hectic day in downtown you can come here relaxed. when visiting houston another must see is space and houston since we are the space city. so as a kid i used to watch these things go up into space it's amazing for me to be here in houston space city and be able to walk inside an actual space shuttle. so this is what it's like to live inside the shuttle check this out this is a sleeping bag where do a strap yourself in for a good night's rest. we even have the actual astronaut suit amazing.

plucker a long day in the city there's only one way to cool down and that's what a nice tall texan beer. well that was my day here in houston hope you guys had a good time hope you guys can call down next time you hear don't forget visit houston and so i lose. p. l. the fairies they are a pretty inexpensive way to do some sightseeing in hamburg the ferries belong to the public transportation network.

i'm on the way from design pollie piers down the road. everywhere there is something to see for example the museum harbor in. the people of hamburg are very proud of the harbor and they show that every year around the 7th of may on that day in the year 1189 emperor is said to have issued a license for the port and that's a pretty good reason to celebrate say over 1000000 visitors every year. even if the charter founding the port is a 13th century forgery people have been celebrating it since 1977 the birthday bash attracts locals and visitors to the for 3 days.

notice and everyone's always in a good mood it's always relaxed and handed as always with seeing and off the ship it's great to climb on to the vessels and see how things work on the tall ships he does a lot of stuff is a whole series on i thought everything the port the atmosphere water the sea ships . the ports anniversary traditionally begins with the grand arrival parade with vessels ranging from motor boats to tall ships and all more than $300.00 ships come to the festival every year . but that was the specter. the mic stands on to land at concerts on stages and vendors selling arts and crafts and food. for the topic of. among the festivals highlights is the traditional tugboat ballet with skipper's

acting as choreographers. the ports origins may be veiled in mystery but the people of this hanseatic city make the most of it with maritime displays and celebrations every year. you can also take a dip in hamburg's river after years of pollution the water quality of the elder is clean enough to swim and bathing in the elder has a long tradition is specially during the 19th century journalist and author helen has already written 2 books about it like many locals she's a fan of the river. what moves you to swim in the elba every day.

fast oberst every day was like it's a great pleasure it's just wonderful are the elderlies at my doorstep i can go in it when i want to i can do what i want in there almost everything and this is sensuous experience the water in the flowing streaming rising and falling water i enjoyed immensely but what should i keep in mind when getting into the water there are certainly a few dangers. you have to be able to swim extremely well beginner's training is not enough. you should also be able to feel the river bed under your feet then you're basically safe that way you can always scramble out of the water if you need to. shouldn't get too near the shipping channels you should swim when the water is rising because then it's coming in from the sea and at least feels cleaner than when it's ebbing and coming from the port not really of course neverwinter unc and not in

a thunderstorm all the traditional swimming rules that apply to lakes also apply here would you not be all these were here to be over there are certainly other people to do you think this is a new trend to get. i hope the custom of swimming in the elder returns. since german reunification many sewage treatment plants have been built in eastern germany and the water has become much cleaner. fuel for 20 or 30 years it was really dense here so i think the idea of having nature at your doorstep on the outskirts of a city with a population of millions and being able to use it at should be revived and then more and more people can see how lovely. the american reaches in hamburg have lots of visitors and that weekends in the summer and during school holidays there are many tourists. and most know that the water ebbs and flows and avoid lying too close to the edge when the water is rising and. makes so

now all of us are. orbiting. and what do you wish for the future should be areas be developed more or do you have a concrete vision for how you see your city of hamburg and. yes i think it would be great to rethink in planning so that when something new is built in the time that it takes the elder into account says the river remains accessible the of course making sure the city remains protected as well. it. should really be giving us then made on the magellan terraces in the half in city district and now on this. there are some good ideas there are steps leading to the roof and sometimes into the woods and that's great when it works but it happens much to rarely. ok hello thanks so much.

of course i have to try this now my 1st swim in the l. bit just the thing on such a beautiful summer day. now we leave the old and cross the atlantic because our weekly the mail takes us to mexico and guatemala we go from south korea has sent us his travel impressions it's a collage of adventures and dance themes. if you want. to bring up that. she. can do for you. for. being a little bit. and you bring up the.

at the beginning and the end of everything there is light. and god said let there be light and there was light. the light the crowning achievement of creation represents consciousness. without light there is no vision without light there is no light without light there is no arms length. james to rail uses light to create art to rel is not a god but many consider him one of our greatest contemporary artists his works don't simply make use of light they are light itself. is installations bay the viewer in a light. you lose your orientation as if in a heavy fog outlines disappear. everything just almost into color.

the critter going to museum unbutton baden's post. it's a real retrospective the largest ever seen in europe. came to real seldom gives interviews but at the museum we talked to him at length. 75 years old now he rarely travels to these kinds of exhibitions which are held all over the world. in focused on the main theme of his work the secrets of light. mist that are out and when and how did you 1st realize that the well this is all about flights i don't know that they can tell you anything about religion or or science but i do know that there are a lot of artists if you look at just the history of art in our you know our culture

is littered with people who are depicting life in amazing ways and using it for the staging of the drama of of our living and what we do rather than depicted i want to use life itself but that may be made for some sort of staging and certainly more installation kinds of work as you said your enough to depicting life to work is lights and could you explain the difference i like that quality of it which has to do with this the title of the show the substance of light the thing the subway we're talking about actually light being a thing of substance. i mean have pieces here where you realize in order to see the walls which you can see you're looking through something and the slight residing in the spaces is so different than say walking through the forest and you see a beam of light come down that illuminates the atmosphere of the air and nuff that

you see this beamed. in space i mean you're not just seeing it on the surface of the of the ground or things like have you actually are seeing this flight this actually inhabiting the space. to real shows us how to if you like from a different perspective light is to him what paint is to a painter it's raw material. that was some difficulty because you know with life you don't form a flight play with the hands you know carve it away like. you know wood or stone you actually have to build it almost like you do with music so you have to make the instruments it does that. there are times in your apartment you can play well wagner is a good example. you play this music and suddenly the. space sure it is

much larger. sound and here like the stanza speakers. that's what you're building building the kind of space to make the material. james derails art can be both bewildering and moving it's something you experience . at 1st glance this may seem like a projected image but it is in fact a space guns felt. viewers are gradually drawn into the space and they

begin to wonder why am i. and where am i. and let's take a look at the gunsight sirius for instance and there is no focus for a nest no object or your of the other for interest i am the object what is it. that it's interesting what of what are we left with when there is no no focus while there for no no focus no object no thing and basically we're we are entering this new. landscape which is the landscape with horizon and you see that when you get the white out while skiing you can see it all flying when you enter the cloud and after you gauge an instrument flying.

also when you dive there are times when you really want it you know which way is up is just by watching your bubbles. and we are entering this new realm now and we're learning to navigate it so i'm very interested in this new landscape and how we feel within it and how the light helps to build that space but what do you think what are we going to find out about ourselves in that new space. well for us well just balance is interesting because we use horizon so much for balance. and even on a boat you know you get seasick if you go down below and you don't have a rising you come up with on deck and you look at horizon you can study the stomach

more easily so that we have been for a long time using this idea of horizon if you're a pilot and you do aerobatics at 1st you can feel this it deliberate and then. this actually. charges here you actually want to experience that you want to feel that it actually as a good feeling and that's when you know that you're you're beginning to be able to navigate this this realm this new realm you set that i am the object in your work and how do i see myself seeing how does that work well you are literally investigating your your seeing and it's not so much my seeing that i present to you and then you can go and. with that knowledge put it into your saying this is actually it's about you're seeing correctly as you experience it so you get the

chance to discover it for yourself it's not a discovery of mine so much as it is becomes your discovery that's what i hope anyway. james to rail is also an experienced pilot and he made a key just covering one day while flying he became aware of the majestic scope and beauty of the sky. he has created sky scapes all over the world. these chambers provide viewers with a new visual perspective on the heavens the universe and eternity. this is the james to real museum in the n.d.s. mountains of argentina it was funded by the swiss entrepreneur and arts patron

donald heads. the museum stands 2300 meters above sea level fully isolated from the rest of the world in this place nature often stages its own light shows. when did you really fall in love with this guy as a pilot well certainly as a poacher you do because that. those who supports you and i mean it is this atmosphere that you are swimming in and of course it is life like water it is the it has substance and it has changes as you see weather come or light involved with that atmosphere. and that's what's actually quite beautiful and people experience that coming over from the u.s. to europe as you wake up and you go into the the morning that you're headed into course the pilots are up there with the best seat in the house.
