ah, and she'll keep on living those dreams that her next performance is in the us, where she hopes to win the hearts of the audiences. injury in the live shows of america's got talent. and in september, maybe even the big price. ah. then of course we wish her all of luck. next up we had to austria, to me, an artist who creates illusions in glass. in his latest works, thomas medicos employs a special technique. as soon as you move the artwork or you yourself move the image completely changes like magic. oh, we got a sneak peak into the intricate process which goes into these optical anomalies. ah,

works of us in glass. every side reveals a different subject. the ashes calls these installations, animal fif cubes. my name is, i'm thomas medical, i'm an artist and i mostly work with glass weekend mid to class. the animals moving the ceiling that he most of the animals for cubes consist of a 144 strips. if its export images are scattered across these strips and fragments to fill it all in. so if you walk around the cube or turn it new images come together every 90 degrees helen on to cut, unless billet to summon thomas medical has salt his cubes as far afield as the us and canada glasses fascinated the artist ever since he learned how to work with it at a glance looking technical school, macintosh,

vamp glassing. it's harder to work with glass intuitively then for instance, with clay or a canvas m. like at the same time, it's a material that's very closely bound to the refraction of light up and it displays many ambiguities. it has something ethereal about it because it's so transparent, so constant is but in animal from wilson, it gets the animal for cubes contained for images and miss and the 2 opposite each other have to fill out precisely the same area offshore. so when you view one of them that covers up the one behind it each really cut is the difficulty, is to develop images that depict different things, but still cover the same area. for sure. also you have to make certain compromises and game of the system. so the 2 image is always share certain aspects lightly, but sometimes they lead you up a blind alley, esl suck, then i realize it's not going to work and i have to try something else, goes nice, bullion miss medical has got very different works on display in his hometown,

innsbruck, austria, for example, this installation titled kona, kona eyes anchor albert cohen. i started out in a very small format and this old and one day i drove past the entrance to a parking garage and it occurred to me that it could serve as a kind of massive display case. next up is on these corbana sculpture in itself is a work that looks back at you schulty and you look at it and it looks back. i say that in general, art doesn't come into being until a viewer gazes at it. and sean and steve, ah, another recent project is this installation in a distribution hydro electric plant. the reflections make the old turbine hole and the viewers themselves a part of the outlet. the insulator on the die tank. and the installation hanging their attempts to redefine the space from an

industrial one to an artistic one, in the slee, long and unconcerned ocean, because it's now listed as a historic side. and the turbines are very dominant and it was important to take up the theme of the space itself. the steam at his homes of took hyphen in late summer or early autumn, the artist hopes to unveil his newest glass cube in ins. brooke, in the meantime, he's got a lot of fragments to cut out and paint. what's that to me that is constantly i'm. what's fascinating about painting glass is that it's a very old technique dating back to the middle ages entrepreneur and me. i think it's exciting to integrate a very old craft into something new and make use of this old technique that you tried and tested for something contemporary taken as it was to preventing. ah, thomas medical says animal fit glasses plays with perspectives and perceptions.

ultimately, the other is in the eye of the beholder. when it comes to describing certain characteristics about germans, many people might say that they drive very fast are never late, and have no sense of humor. now, these of course are cliches. but one thing you might not know is that many germans means serious business when it comes to walking or hiking. having all of the right accessories is very important. now d w reporter rachel stuart, takes a look at how germans hit the trails compared to everyone else. have you ever been that you're on holiday and you decide to go for a hype, but you didn't really prepare for it. and of course, who do you come across on the trail? a jim and ah, wow. serious shoes?

check out the practical base rock that classical weather jacket. what's that visual term? is this for the knee? oh boy, please walk in. ah, the germans love to walk, of course, with walking and walking. don't expect see a gun on sunday stroll has not been established feature in the lives of many german families. but a step up from this is london or hiking. the difference isn't necessarily about grady and strenuous it's a rundown involved planning, a route, schedule and equipment. hiking is the most popular outdoor activity in germany. whether it's a longer journey would stop. i was in hiking hot or a quick day trip weekend. young and old in any season, they just love it. makes you happy. hiking warms the hot 19. good. it's been

a lot of time endorse. so it's great to be able to nature word as it really helps to relax and it keeps you fit. germany just has the right climate for hiking. i get my best ideas, hiking. i just thought it had so much tradition. germany is a hockey nation man. can you can relax and get away from daily life. you might meet other nice people. it's great all around. would say that the germans been raving the hill since time immemorial. not quite 2nd day. hiking with religious pilgrim tradesman scholars and vagabonds in the german mountains, and far as seen as an invite and dangerous. it wasn't until the 1800s that german nature got itself some good publicity, courtesy of the romantics, poets and painters joined forces to pick up the great outdoors. people started to realize they could walk for pleasure. the arrival of the railway meant that even fitted had easy access to the countryside. and then the germans depart, the germans do best. they got organized. they formed hiking association marked out

paths and even set up the 1st ever youth hostels. oh, sadly, even the wholesome pursuit of hiking couldn't escape the shadow of national socialism. the nazi so hiking as an elitist selfish hobby. and they funneled youth hiking members into the hitler youth. but in the postal is a renew connection to nature became part of the healing process. the manager evans today hiking is more popular than ever, and it's big business the gym and spend billions of yours every year on hiking trips and fancy equipment. that certainly plenty to keep them occupied in gemini from 300000 kilometers assigned posted hiking routes along forest trails. alpine tracks wind, valleys and coastal. but the germans are no longer just hiking a home. what and full will indulge their hiking habit while holidaying abroad as well wherever they are, does another vital element to a gym and hike. it's so important. it's got its own verb. i'd kill them or stopping off for refreshment along the way. maybe a schnitzel, some cake or just

a cold been to give you energy with well, the german word, vonda, los, or wonder lust has also made it into the english language. now, what do you most associate with german culture? go to our website and let us know now we're ruffling off a sweatshirt and a bag, but you can get this sweatshirt from d w's and centered collection, which gives tips on how to access band media. now when i was growing up in the united states, we often ate tortillas, or flat red from corn wrapped around beef or chicken. so you can imagine my confusion when i went to spain and ordered a tortilla and got a potato omelette instead. now what i discovered was that spanish tortillas are a beloved favorite, eaten morning, noon and night. ah,

the tortilla can be considered a national dish in spain. in barcelona, near the secret of amelia, one little restaurant boasts over 25 kinds of tortilla. and isabel color tell you has been preparing this culinary classics for 40 years now. but i me as a lady, mentor, it's a dish. my grandma would always make up each one for you and i was little if you'd ask me, what's your favorite food and master. i'd always answer grandma's tortilla, but mm hm. so it means a lot to me. if so, if he got was more ala hello, my name's isabel keller to you, and i'm the owner of the restaurant law. say about your voice. i'm going to show you how to make a spanish tortilla on your lap. and the spanish tortilla is actually a pretty simple dish and has few ingredients. but i want to make out tortilla. you

need 3 eggs, maybe a half an onion, and 2 potatoes, not but that though, isabel color tell you to shops for fresh ingredients every morning. let dr. young an event that he is with 1st invented in spain, in the 18th century, as a cheap and hearty meal was called on one element of wood, alvarado. there was already the french omelette all to a tier, as we call it, native just beaten banton rolled up eggs over diesel e and oriental set our own eggs specialty a pot. we added potato level, ocoee se, and if we're lucky for nebula, but the disadvantage to t. m. dorothy, yes, fine yoda, it all starts with a potatoes and her potato of choice is the mona lisa variety. it's about movie n for the great for spanish tortillas. the way we make them up, if they're not starchy, they are very waxy. that make that imperfect to peel cause with and fry the law recorded. bah phrase,

isabella and la used the same normal onions i generally cook with and so neither coughing up. it figured it was my grandmother's secret, was to cut the potatoes, very thin. white said that they get old crunchy and to moisten them with the beat neg, diesel. the most important rule is to pre cook all the ingredients of a tortilla. except the eggs. up other than love will you come to put the rule potatoes with the egg? is olivia that would ruin everything for this committee because then you'd have to roll potatoes in your finished. okay. yeah for you la. you always have to deep fry them before mixing them with the eggs. no, but it takes just 2 minutes and they're done with it for yes, but then i used some paper to soak up the oil. is that a little boy? so now the potatoes, the don mother, that there's a mom and dad that emma's law, but that they, it's up and it's time for the onions eat out of how much of it that they will. yup . and just like with the potatoes, the thin or you slice the onions,

the better the tortilla effect, all you cook them in their own juice. we add a bit of oil, these are fatal. e. the venue, let them simmer slowly on. a very low hate will lead bermuda. it takes quite a while, but the result is great at the impulse, but okay, that movie and then the restaurants name lefebvre means onion in catalonia, and here they simmer their onions for 3 to 4 hours to give them the right roasting flavor. and now it's time for the eggs. some salt, poke up. the next task is to beat the eggs and add the deep fried potatoes and stewed onions. then she carefully mixed as it altogether. an she shares a little secret with us out i. now the trick is to let everything set for 10 to 15 minutes. those consuming auto think it helps the potatoes absorb the eggs,

flavor level, the potatoes, talk to the eggs when it will in a coated pan covered with oil, she fries the tortilla mixture. and once the bottom is solid, she flips the tortilla over to you cannot get a little fun we. spaniards couldn't live without potato. t is the other that we all ate them as children in your home was coming up. and when you've had to miss a kid, you crave them the rest of your life in your sympathy. delcava was thunder. i don't know anyone who doesn't like tortillas. it was philadelphia but that normally everyone wants some not talked about that the operative and the dish never gets boring. you can always spice up the standard tortilla recipe with new ingredients like spinach or go cheese. and it's delicious, any time of day that does look delicious. okay,

dogs and cats tend to be the motif of choice for many photographers. so it may be surprising to see, to italian photographers choose chickens as their primary subjects. what they believe these feathery creatures are highly underestimated as pets and as models. so they've created a book to get people talking rather than squawking about chickens with proud and self assured, and with elegant feathers. these words describe the ornamental chickens displayed in coffee table books by photographers my tail trying celine and marino monte. from milan, they both openly admit their fascinated with chickens, and have even acquired a few of their own. their pets could just as easily struck the cat walk. and i've got that before we can run them or not. it was love at 1st sight,

that i never would have expected him that any mighty giving him a 40 chickens make very good motifs for their very photogenic region and great models similar that they know right away what they're supposed to do. because of that, you don't have to explain it to them within 40 though. cool. they need hardly any makeup diver from our experience in the advertising and fashion industries. chickens are the best top models and the most natural lepeu should. i am all that and they also seem to be the most patient. they obediently follow whatever directions the photographers give them. for their latest project, my tail trying celine and marino monte post 2 chickens teach from one of a total. 60 breeds as lovers chicken and love is the snappy though somewhat tongue in cheek title. the aspect okesha that i thought to leave you a loss, but we were primarily interested in the aesthetic aspect of the okay boys would change. so they love that explains the beauty and success of the book lability project to thank you, just on expect chickens to look so grants fit up

a ballistic with any minute, like kevin, the proud rooster and my tail trying, celine garden in milan. he and his hens, chanel and samantha, our house chickens of the coach and breed. queen victoria introduced these unusually large chickens from asia to europe in the 19th century. oh, for chicken and love, the photographers brought roosters and hens of different races together. as couples, a dutch crested with a bantam wyandotte, a silky with an orphan 10. concordia means a visual lucas, he found out about it. we went searching for what chickens look best together edge, but not like a breeder. would ya think? we mixed the breeds and sexes. to get a colorful variety like we have in our human society, humanity, guacamole. and what about 2 roosters? why not?

and oh, the rooster may protect his hens, but he doesn't have that great reputation. as a romantic lover, guy loom guy said the roosters the worst example and absolutely not a role model when it comes to romance, yellow, fine, doesn't do anything with he doesn't produce anything the way and he dominates hundreds of hens that will definitely not politically correct at a corner, but it works after a lot of my food seal. ah, ah! ah right no favor. no, he's offended rally. we've heard his feelings about. it's no real tragedy. everything always revolves around him the rooster good. but now mateo trench aline, and marino monte have proven that hens to can hold their own in the spotlight. but have they solve the puzzle of why the chicken crossed the road? we'll see next time. okay. and that was all for today over good to go to our
