an artist who creates illusions in glass. in his latest works at thomas, that 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, keeps my number is time thomas medical, i'm an artist and i mostly work with glass and mit class. the animals move the ceiling that he can. most of the animals for cubes consist of

a $144.00 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, calling on to cut a noise. philly to summon. thomas medically has sold 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, mcemtire mc 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, soil from twenties. but in alum, often, wilson kept 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 is the difficulty is to develop images that depict different things, but still cover the same area pressure also you have to make certain compromises and game of the system. so the 2 images always share certain aspects lightly, but sometimes they lead you up a blind alley vessel suck. then i realize it's not going to work and i have to try something else. goes, says, nice bullion. miss medicos has got very different works on display in his hunt town . innsbruck, austria, for example, this installation titled conroy cone 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, the is on these group. i gave a 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. mm. another recent project is this installation in a d tradition hydroelectric plant. the reflections make the old turbine whole and the viewers themselves a part of the outlook the insulator on the die tank. the installation hanging mer attempts to redefine the space from an industrial one, to an artistic one, in the slee rome and unconcerned edition, 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. what's that 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 i 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 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 dry, 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 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 the practical base rough classical weather jacket. what's that special term? is that the knee? oh boy, please walk in. ah, the german 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 no. it's a bundle 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 heart and it has been a lot of time endorse. so it's great to be able to nature. it really helps to relax and it keeps you fit and 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 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 2nd to day hiking with religious pilgrim tradesman scholars and vagabonds in the german mountains and far as seen as

uninviting dangerous. it wasn't until the 1800s that german nature got itself some good publicity, courtesy of the romantic 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 52 others 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 of a youth hostels. sadly, even the wholesome pursuit of hiking couldn't escape the shadow of national socialism. the nazi, still hiking as an elitist selfish hobby, and they funneled use 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 are no longer just hiking at home. 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 net fulton. okay, cool. just to cold beer, to keep your energy out for the law. i ah 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 raffling 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. omelet 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 secretary familia, one little restaurant boasts over 25 kinds of tortilla. and isabel color, toyota has been preparing this culinary classic 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 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, so 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. and the spanish tortilla is actually a pretty simple dish and has few ingredients. oh, but i want to make a t o 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. let dr. young an event that he is with 1st invented in spain, in the 18th century, as a cheap and hearty meal. what's called an element of wood, alvarado. there was already the french omelette, all tortilla as we call it. terribly native, just beaten, baked and rolled up eggs,

about diesel e and our yankee set. our own eggs, specialty a pot. we added potatoes level, ocoee say. and if well, awful novilla, but that is our vanish tortilla. emma dorothy? yes, fun, yoda. it all starts with the potatoes and her potato of choice is the mona lisa variety. it's about movie and 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. coffee and fry the la todd. i've got a bad afraid isabella. and i used to same normal onions. i generally cook with for another coffee, not affiliated with my grandmother, see could was to cut the potatoes very thin, white said that they get all 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 let but that then will up will you come to put the rule potatoes with the egg as alady. all that would ruin everything to this

committee because then you'd have to roll potatoes in your finish tortilla for you la. you always have to deep fry them before mixing them with the eggs filter. it takes just 2 minutes and they're done. this is for yes, but then i use some paper to soak up the oil. keep that a little boy. so now the potatoes, the don mother, that there's a mom and dad that emo's law. but that by itself and it's time for the onions e out of how much of it that they have. oh yeah. 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 fatal. e the venue, let them simmer slowly on. a very low hate will lead from it up. it takes quite a while, but the result is great. them both, but okay, that movie and the restaurants name, la sabre 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. pilot, some salt pork 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 the 10 to 15 minutes. those consuming auto think it helps the potatoes absorb the eggs, lie thought level, the potatoes, talk to the eggs. wanted wiggle in a coated pan covered with oil. she fries the tortilla mixture. and once the bottom is solid, she flips the tortilla over. and you can take it out of one we. spaniards couldn't live without potato till t is the other. but we all ate the most children in your home was coming up. and when you've had to miss the kid, you crave them the rest of your life in your simpler duck about roast thumbs or i

don't know anyone who doesn't like tortillas. it was from out of yet, but i thought 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. 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 there, 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 don't run them all at night. was love at 1st sight that i never would have expected in the any mighty giving on 40 chickens make very good motifs for their very photogenic origin. 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 with the name for corey torkel. 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, 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. mateo,

toronto, lini, 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 you'll get boys will change. 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 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 or beaten. concordia means a visual lucas he found out about and we went searching for what chickens look best together as you, 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. the money died guacamole and what about to 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 guessing the roosters the worst example and absolutely not a role model. when it comes to romance, yellow fight doesn't do anything. he doesn't produce anything the way and he dominates hundreds of hands with that will definitely not politically correct at a corner, but it works after a lot of my food ceiling. ah, ah, ah, right, no favor. now he's offended rally. we've hurt his feelings about it. it's no real

tragedy. everything always revolves around him. the rooster. but now my tail trying celine and marino monte have proven that hence 2 can hold their own in the spotlight. but have they solved 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 website, to take part in our viewer, draw and follow us on social media as always, thanks for watching. and we will see you again with
