The Hungarian photographer György Klösz (Johann Georg Justus Kloess) was born in Darmstadt, Germany, in 1844. Klösz moved to Vienna after his education and worked in a photography studio, then moved to Hungary in 1866.
In the 1870s he was one of the first photographers to take photographs outside of the studio in Hungary. He captured almost 260 photographs of the city of Budapest.

today Germany celebrates the fall of Berlin wall 25 years ago. but the wall is not understandable without the Nazi crimes. the 9 th of November 1938 is the climax of the November pogroms against the jewish citizen. hundreds of deads, destroyed shops, 1400 burning synagogues and Thora rolls... Stand up against racism, antisemitism!

Gorey needs little introduction as an American original, an eccentric Victorian (not very far from Joseph Cornell) who found himself intuitively moving from French literature to illustration and book design. Both men were also passionate balletomanes.
This design's camera phone is not a real phone. It's ancestor is the French detective cameras of the last century. The fake phone is a complete set of digital camera controls. The mouthpiece is the shutter release and the dial buttons control metering, focus, exposure, etc. The rotary dial face is an LCD display. Both the controls and lens of the camera are protected by silk cloth coverings. The underside of the sole cover has a contact number list written in rhyming couplets.
The phone is stored inside the velvet seat of a unicycle. A small set of catnip bottles are also inside the seat.
Here in this ballet fantasy, Gorey and his beloved cats participate in a heady dance. The cats follow him on the unicycle like a pied piper transformed from the Middle Ages to the Victorian era (the medieval rats to Victorian cats).
