ah, and she'll keep on living those dreams that her next performance is in the u. s. where she hopes to win the hearts of the audiences. injury in the live shows of america's got howard. and in september, maybe even the big pro ah men, of course we wish for 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 time to almost me because i'm an artist and i mostly work with glass and mit class. the animals move at the ceiling that he can most of the animal for cubes consist of a 144 strips. fixed for images are scattered across these strips and fragments of flood worn. so if you walk around the cube or turn it new images come together every 90 degrees on to cut unless built to summon thomas medic who's has sold his cubes as far afield as the us and canada glass has fascinated the artist ever since he learned how to work with it at a gloss looking technical school. my country ma'am, it 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 alum, often wilford 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, a covers up the one behind it each really cut it's 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 to image is always share certain aspects slightly, but sometimes they lead you up a blind alley, us will suck, then i realize it's not going to work and i have to try something else. again, this is 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 dampness, 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 cryptogenic sculpture in itself is a work that looks back at you. shelter and you look at it and it looks back. i say that in general, art doesn't come into being until a viewer gaze is added and shawn and teeth in. another recent project is this installation in a distribution hydroelectric 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 mer attempts to redefine the space from an

industrial one to an artistic one in the slee long. and i'm can solution 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 mean time, he's got a lot of fragments to cut out and paint. but 1st to me than this quantity 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 prevent. ah, thomas medical says animal fit closet plays with perspectives and perceptions.

ultimately, the us 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 mean 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 hike? you didn't really prepare for it. and of course, who do you come across on the trail? a gym and ah, wow, serious shoes?

check out that practical base rough classical weather jacket. what's that special term is little 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 gradient or strenuous. it's a london involved planning a route, a 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 for a quick day trip weekend. young and old in any season, they just love it. smart future makes you happy. hiking warms the hon. one 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 to get my best ideas, hiking. i just thought it had so much tradition. germany is a hiking 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 back. in the day, hiking with religious pilgrim tradesman scholars and vagabonds in the german mountains and far as was seen as uninviting 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 to the germans do best they got organized. they formed hiking association marked out paths and even

set up the 1st of a youth hostels. 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 hit leave. but in the past 4 years, a renew connection to nature became part of the healing process. so many german today, i think, more popular than ever and it's big business. the germans spend billions of yours every year on hiking trips and some equipment that certainly plenty to keep them occupied in germany, some 300000 kilometers, assign, posted hiking routes along forest trails. alpine tracks wind, valleys and coastal for the germans, no longer just hiking. what in for will indulge that hiking habit while holidaying abroad as well? wherever they are, does another vital element to a german hike. it's so important. it's got its own verb. i'm all stuffing off for refreshment along the way. maybe it's nestled some. okay,

cool. just to cold beer to keep your energy out. so i well, the german word, vanda, 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. 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 to you has been preparing this culinary classic for 40 years now. but i me as a lady, mental it's a dish. my grandma would always make up e guns. are you when i was little, if you'd ask me, what's your favorite food and master? i'd always answer grandma's tortilla of him. yellow. it means a lot to me. if so, if he got was mucho 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. the spanish tortilla is actually a pretty simple dish and has few ingredients. but i want to make up. so t a,

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. thought the evian 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, almost alt will tear as we call it. the aid of just beaten, baked, and rolled up eggs. diesel e and oriental set our own eggs specialty a pot. we added potatoes level, ocoee, se, and while awful novilla but the disadvantage tortilla emma dorothy espanol it all starts with the potatoes and her potato of choice is them on a lease of variety. if i move in for the grade for spanish tortillas the way we make them up, if they're not start she, they are very waxy. that make that imperfect to peel. coffee and fry. the lot of got a bad afraid isabella. and i used the same normal onions,

i generally cook with another coffee, not affiliated with. my grandmother secret was to cut the potatoes, very thin. white said that they get old crunchy, and to moisten them with the beaten egg diesel. the most important rule is to pre cook all the ingredients of a tortilla. except the eggs lump at that then will up will you come to put the rule, potatoes, da, da. salvia that would ruin everything for this committee because then you'd have to walk a taters when you're finished tortilla for you la. you always have to deep fry them before mixing them with the eggs out of it takes just 2 minutes and they're done with it for yes, but then i use some paper to soak up the oil. get that a little boy. so now the potatoes are done by the, there's a moment, the other emo's law, but that by itself, and it's time for the onions e out of how much of it they will. yup. and just like with the potatoes,

the thinner you slice the onions, the better the tortilla, he just call you cook them in their own juice. we add a bit of oil. these are they did the, 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 ample. but okay, that movie and the restaurants name, last saber 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. sadly, some salt. pork on the next task is to beat the eggs and add the deep fried potatoes in 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 the 10 to 15 minutes. those consuming auto gothic it up helps the potatoes absorb the egg flavor

level the potatoes, talk to the eggs, what it will in a coded pan covered with oil. she fries the tortilla mixture, and once the bottom is solid, she flips the tortilla over. you can look a little funny we spaniards couldn't live without potato till t is the other, but that we all ate the most children in your home with coming up. and when you've had to miss the kid, you crave them the rest of your life, your. but at zachary who stanza, i don't know any one who doesn't like to t as it was from out of the. but i thought normally everyone wants some not talked about that the op at this and the dish never gets boring. you can always spice up the standard tortilla recipe with new ingredients, collect spinach, or go cheese. and it's delicious, any time of day that does look delicious. ok,

dogs and cats tend to be the motif of choice for many photographers. so it may be surprising to see 2 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 up. i've got that before. we can run them, all right, and it was a love at 1st sight. i never would have expected in been any mighty giving on 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 42 o'clock, 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 up we should at our mall. and they also seem to be the most patient. they obediently follow whatever directions to photographers give them for their latest project. mateo tron 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 ass bagley ok boys would chase so they love that explains the beauty and success of the book. lability project too. so you just don't expect chickens to look so great fit that i barely think was any

minute like kevin, the proud rooster and my tail trying, celine garden in milan. he and his hens, shanelle, 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 open 10. concordia means a visual look as if i not wanted. we went searching for what chickens look best together, 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. you money thein, 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, the roosters, the worst example, and absolutely not a role model when it comes to romance, yellow fine, doesn't do anything when he doesn't produce anything the way. and he dominates hundreds of hands. that will definitely not politically correct out a car, but it works after a lot of my food seal. and ha, ha, ha, right? no phaser. now is offended highly. we've hurt his feelings. oh no. it's no real tragedy. everything always revolves around him the rooster. but now my tail trying, celine and moreno monty have proven that hens too, can hold their own in the spotlight with 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
