Tthe Japanese Guerilla Paparazzi going Dolce Vita

The Japanese Guerilla Paparazzi World Tour: The Tour Must Go On - JGP disregarding the Piazza Garibaldi

Our little friends, The Japanese Guerilla Paparazzi just popped up in and around Rome, doing what they do best, ignoring the landmarks around them.  It was only pure chance that the enchanting Nadya Cazan was around, able to shoot back, capturing the hunters. You know what they say: When in Rome do as the Romans do but it is hard to imagine that The Japanese Guerilla Paparazzi will ever change their cameras for a mobile, (but wait, ... when they come with a build in camera...)

Where her son flies in the sky

 On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin, "the Columbus of the Cosmos" became the first human to travel into space. During his flight, Gagarin famously whistled the tune "The Motherland Hears, The Motherland Knows" (Russian: "Родина слышит, Родина знает"). The first two lines of the song are: "The Motherland hears, the Motherland knows/Where her son flies in the sky". The Japanese Guerilla Paparazzi, themself known as maniac voyagers, are shown here while firing flashes of salute in honor of the travelling comrade. It should be noted that we don´t see Mr. Garin in Person, instead it is a "Singing Postcard" with a recording of the radio transmission covering his flight.

The opening was foremost a meeting of all and everyone who´s into the Berlin art scene, even the infamous Japanese Guerilla Paparazzi popped up. A cool night and a nice start into this year´s fair frenzy.
