  • Out of an overall overload and a feeling of numbness due to all the things happening these days, the idea of a charity platform to help people in need evolved in the past few weeks.⠀ ⠀ Together with my sister Marina, we have created @bettertogether.charity a platform for creativity and charity that functions as an operator between the two. With this project we want to gather our resources, skills and networks and give the opportunity to buy art and at the same time donating money for a good cause.⠀ ⠀ You can buy an art piece by donating 70% of the selling price to an aid organization and paying 30% directly to the artist. We are starting with six beautiful pieces by some of our very talented friends. Big shout outs to all participants so far 🤍 supported by @present_xx ✨ ⠀ ⠀ Photo: Uli Grohs

  • ⁣I find it harder than usual to find concentration. So many things are racing through my mind these days!⠀ ⠀ E.B. White once wrote: “I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” There are so many things I want to build and projects I want to follow-up on, and books I want to read, I’m constantly running the risks of spreading myself too thin. ⠀ ⠀ Besides having spent a considerable amount of time decluttering and finishing unread books, bookmarks, films & articles, shaving my head, indulging in kitchen experiments, and building stuff for my clients, I’m doing my best every day to carve out some time for deep work to make progress on building the next steps for PRESENT.⠀ ⠀ We are working on new content and ideas daily and reach out to collaborators and contributors. Parallel to that we are researching and developing new products. I’m grateful to have Sarah as a partner-in-crime helping to keep things moving and evolving! ⠀ ⠀ A new strategy evolved, we are developing a new digital platform with the goal to provide our community with a wider range of valuable content, faster and more regularly — opposed to working silently in our 'bubble' until the finished print issue. Excited to share more on this with you in the coming weeks! ⠀ *** Something to watch:⠀ Dolphin Man is a brilliant documentary about the legendary French diver Jacques Mayol, capturing his compelling journey and immersing viewers into the sensory and transformative experience of free-diving.⠀ ⠀ From the Mediterranean to Japan and from India to the Bahamas, we meet Mayol’s closest friends and family to reveal the portrait of a man who reached the limits of the human body and mind, not just to break records but hoping to discover the deeper affinity between human beings and the sea. ⠀ ⠀ The film weaves together rare film archive from the 1950s onwards, with stunning contemporary underwater photography, to discover how Mayol revolutionized free-diving and brought a new consciousness to our relationship with the sea and our inner-selves. ⠀ ⠀ — This was an excerpt from Present Newsletter #3 ✍️
