Even when the world feels heavy, a little blue teddy reminds us that sadness can still carry hope—and brighter days are quietly on their way. 💙

… one foggy morning ✨ A mystical forest… and my village under pink clouds that look suspiciously like spaceships 👽🚀 Maybe it’s just fog. Or maybe it’s finally time they arrive. Either way, reality got very creative today. #FogVibes #AlienThoughts #MysticMorning #SpaceOrNot

Snow Moon energy. Still. Cold. Powerful. 🌕❄️

Fog erased the landscape, but revealed perspective: what rises above uncertainty always catches the first light.

Even when the morning fog blurs every edge, there is always a lure of color ahead, inviting us to keep walking toward what we cannot yet fully see …

Before you buy, pause. Every purchase is a vote cast in silence — for the kind of world you help sustain. Consumption feels personal, but its echoes shape the whole system. Choose thoughtfully; restraint can be the most powerful form of care.

Flying doves painted, trapped behind plastic — they look ready to take off, but remain held back. Freedom just out of reach. 🕊️

Discover something new again and again – look up, it’s getting interesting. 👀⏰ The clock of the Bullinger Church in Zurich is more than a timepiece. Designed by artist @olga.titus as part of a Kunst am Bau project, its iridescent dials reflect changing colors and intensities depending on sunlight and viewing angle. A reminder that time, light, and perspective are always in motion. ✨🎨

Light moves through the branches and the shades follow — not as rivals, but as companions. Nothing here is good or bad, only different ways of being. Together they make the scene whole …

After an inspiring evening at Solothurn Filmtage, listening to thoughtful reflections on culture, society, and storytelling, I walked home through the foggy streets of Solothurn — the city wrapped in mystery, as if time itself was pausing. It made me reflect on humanity and our future. Stories shape who we are, how we see each other, and the world we build together. By engaging with film, art, music, theater, and all forms of cultural expression, we don’t just consume narratives — we participate in them. We question history, explore perspectives, and imagine new possibilities for ourselves and society. The question isn’t just what stories will be told — but which stories will we choose to live, to honor, and to shape. Our future depends on it. ✨

21.01.2026: Opening of the 61st Solothurn Filmtage ✨🎬 A special evening with thoughtful and inspiring opening remarks from the organizers about storytelling and the power of narratives — perfectly setting the stage for the films ahead. Earlier, Federal Councillor Elisabeth Baume-Schneider spoke about the importance of culture for society and the central role of the SRG: to inform, provide context, connect people, and deliver films, series, and cultural content that tell stories and shape identity. Her speech was a strong and passionate argument for why the halving initiative should be clearly rejected (08.03.2026). The Narrative by Bernard Weber & Martin Schilt tells how former UBS trader Kweku Adoboli became a media and societal scapegoat after a multi-billion-dollar loss. A compelling documentary that questions who controls the story — a timely reminder of the importance of narratives in times of uncertainty, fake news, and global power struggles. @sofilmtage celebrate Swiss cinema and storytelling, uniting filmmakers and audiences to reflect on culture and society. 21–28 January 2026 🎬

This week strolling through Solothurn — what a beautiful city. ✨ Wrapped in heavy fog, it felt even more mysterious. Here for the opening week of Solothurn Filmtage 🎬 Solothurn is one of Switzerland’s oldest cities, known for its elegant baroque architecture and its special connection to the number eleven. Set along the Aare River at the foot of the Jura mountains, it blends history, calm rhythm, and quiet charm in every street and square.

We are not living through a deluge of water, but a deluge of noise, crises, and indifference—where humanity risks drowning not from disaster, but from the slow erosion of empathy, fueled by ignorance.

Cumulus. Designed by @mendelheit and produced at @ciav_meisenthal Cumulus embodies the art of living as a daydreamer — head in the clouds, feet anchored to the world. Formed through breath, heat, and movement, the glass cloud reveals the dialogue between water and air, density and transparency, motion and stillness. Born from earth, shaped by fire, and carried by air, Cumulus becomes a quiet reflection on what the universe offers us — fleeting forms, natural balance, and beauty found in impermanence. #happyownerofacumulus

Dear 2026, please bring me boredom. Apparently, that’s where the good stuff happens … @voegelekultur

Here’s to a new year filled with fresh starts, small joys, big dreams, and moments that make you smile for no reason at all. Happy New Year!” ✨🥂

#cheers #happynewyear #2026

As 2025 comes to a close, may we let go of what dried us out and carry forward the lessons that kept us strong. Like the Rose of Jericho, we may have curled inward to survive—but with a new year comes new water, new light, and new beginnings. Wishing you a gentle unfolding and a hopeful, blooming 2026 🌿✨

Light pierces the shadows, a secret stage awakened 🌞🎭 the curtain rises, and the river whispers its hidden stories.

Life feels like a quiet dream. The river keeps moving, the chair stays still — teaching us that meaning isn’t found in holding on, but in witnessing the moment before it drifts away.

Whispers in the Forêt de la Wantzenau - a riverside woodland near Strasbourg, where golden light drifts through bare trees and rests softly on the river. In this quiet pause, silence glows and nature shines.

Between reed and water, the light begins to dance ✨ The sun whispers in golden glow.

Beneath the winter sun, low and oblique, the trees stretch their shadowed arms 🌑 Whispering to the world… summoning the slow rebirth of light ✨

Where fallen trees become river myths 🌿🌊

Ice crystals bloom like stars on a winter plant ❄️✨ A moment where earth meets the sky.

In Celtic legend, mistletoe was sacred — a symbol of protection, love, and life 🌙

Between timber frames and history… the old tanners’ houses tell the story of Petite France of yesteryear. 🌿🏡”

A dead end in life isn’t the end—look for the open windows …

Born in 1975, @pimaxart is a street artist and co-founder of the Toulouse Hardcore Sound System. Blending graffiti, stencils, and resin sculptures, he mixes street art with contemporary codes to deliver a bold critique of consumer society. Based in Paris, he reinterprets pop icons (Warhol, Goldorak) and brings to life Nourf Nourf, his urban dog inspired by Impressionism—a poetic, rebellious reflection of the artist himself. An uncompromising universe that leaves no one indifferent.

@dan23instagram is one of Strasbourg’s most iconic street artists, known for colourful murals and strong urban messages. Since turning to street art in 2013, he has filled the city with portraits inspired by music and meaningful encounters. His work blends positivity and reflection on humanity, nature, and society—now part of Strasbourg’s urban DNA.

Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain — Strasbourg (MAMCS). A striking metal & glass masterpiece by architect Adrien Fainsilber, this modern art museum sits on the Ill River at the edge of Petite France. Opened in 1998, it houses an impressive collection from the late 19th century to today. Look up — a 4 m high horse sculpture “Hortus conclusus” by Italian artist Mimmo Paladino stands proudly on the roof, adding a bold artistic touch to the building’s architecture and skyline.

On cold winter days, the harvest carries its own quiet warmth: lychees from La Réunion, mandarines from Corsica, oranges from Sicily—sun-kissed fruits that remember the earth’s heat, offering comfort to the hands, the heart, and the soul as winter draws the world inward. #goodmorning #26122025

#unpetitschmoutz💋destrasbourg

The last 12 months, like a flame — sometimes steady, sometimes wild. As the year ends, we dim the lights, slow down, and take a few days off. Finding safety, warmth, and peace with the people we love. Reflecting on what was… and welcoming a new year, a new beginning, full of opportunities. 🕯️✨

Destiny starts the moment you choose to shape your own possibilities …

A regular address for my father and stepmother 🤍 Today we enjoyed a true feast at @duo_lenzburg with perfectly grilled langoustines — delicate, cooked just right, and served with an incredibly refined sauce. From starter to dessert, everything felt beautifully balanced. I love seeing how comfortable my father feels here with fine, French-inspired cuisine, outstanding fish dishes and an excellent wine list. What truly makes the difference is the super friendly DUO team — you always feel comfortable and genuinely welcome. Every visit is a little highlight ✨ On the table: 🦐 Grilled langoustine with tomato & peperoncini butter, 🐟 Bremgarten char with crème fraîche, breadcrumbs & spring onion, 🦪 Fresh oyster, paired with 🍷 Weißer Burgunder & Chardonnay 2022, Weingut Klaus Peter Keller

Between the tracks in Zurich, the @billboard_creatrices project by @creatrices_ turns public space into a platform for feminist ideas. Instead of ads, it displays texts that make social issues visible and invite reflection. A current piece highlights mental load – the often invisible mental and emotional work, mostly carried by women: constantly planning, organizing, and managing responsibilities. The text shows how exhausting this persistent presence can be and how rarely this work is recognized or fairly shared.

Before the sun rises, the world is honest—mountains, lake, and fog resting together, offering beauty, grace, and quiet peace … 🫧

Rituals of light are humanity’s quiet argument against despair … ✨

Recently in Basel, I discovered @gaia.hotel.basel — perfectly located right next to the train station. A place full of history: family-run since 1929 and today one of the city’s first organic & eco-friendly hotels 🌿 What truly impressed me was the beautiful breakfast room: high ceilings, lots of natural light, and classic Belle Époque architecture — you can still feel the charm of another era here. 🥐✨

Maly Blumer, Maccio/Como 1906–1975 War Picture (1930–1975), oil on canvas, 119.5 × 199 cm Set within the pale stone architecture of @kunstmuseumbasel this painting takes hold of you. The space opens — and at the same time, it closes in. A war picture that does not narrate, but devours. Like the skeleton of death, its ribs trapping entire populations. Blues and greys: coldness, stillness, machinery. Reds and violets: blood, life, warmth — not comforting, but alarming. A pulse still beating while everything else has already frozen. The scale of the painting allows no distance. You stand before it and become part of it. No escape. No turning away. We know these images. They reach us every day — on different screens, in different colors, yet with the same weight. An image that stays. Not because it pleases, but because it strikes.

Sometimes the universe sends a sign. Sometimes… it’s a pig with wings …

✨ Bern’s Zytglogge glowing in the night — 800 years of history in one timeless moment, still keeping the city’s rhythm with iconic style. 🕰️🌙

Built in 1909 with grand sandstone façades and a touch of late-baroque classicism, Casino Bern carries more than a century of cultural history in its walls. After its beautifully executed 2019 renovation, every corner reflects timeless Swiss elegance… even the ladies’ restroom. ✨🖤 #CasinoBern #HistoricCharm #ElegantInteriors #GoldenDetails @casino_bern

Spotted in Basel… ✨ A building you simply can’t miss: the Office for Environment & Energy. Its modern solar façade wraps around the entire structure and immediately catches the eye — it looks stunning and even generates clean energy. A true showcase project for sustainable urban architecture.

Münsterhügel is the oldest settlement site in Basel; this is where the first Roman Basilia was founded. Mentelin-Hof commemorates Johannes Mentelin, an early printer and humanist who helped shape Basel’s cultural history. The city’s red-sandstone landmark has towered over the Rhine since the 12th century. Romanesque and Gothic architecture blend here to form one of Switzerland’s most important sacred buildings.
