This book is my record of the stories that took place from the summer of 2022 to the early spring of 2023. This was me taking a break from school during my study abroad in Germany, and these photos helped me to remember the happy and indecisive times of finding mysel!.
I have been on the road in Berlin, Hirschaid, Frankfurt, Cologne and Italy, thanks to my friends Long, Junye, Selin, Andreas and Dagmar, as well as my friends in China, for giving me answers when I was lost. Hope this book can bring calmness and strength to those who are struggling and confused.

The rent can only be increased by 15% over a three year period. The landlord has to justify this rent increase. Following modernisation, the landlord can increase the rental on a apartment. This rent can increase by 8% annually, only from the cost of the modernisation, but maximum 2 or 3 Euros/sqm monthly, depending rentlevel before modernisation. Special ru- les apply to rent increases for social housing.

The photographs that are included in this book form part of the archive of the photographer Alberto Flores Varela. The majority were taken on commission by the Sociedad de Cuauhtémoc y Famosa (SCyF), an institution established in 1918 for Cervecería Cuauhtémoc (Cuauhtémoc Brewing Company), a company that marked the foundation of modern Monterrey. It´s worth noting that the context of those years was of revolution. The business´ elite was threatened by the labor rights included in the new constitution of 1917, which featured the right to strike. This is how the “most fortunate” workers of modern Monterrey were domesticated. It was thus decided to sacrifice freedom of expression, free association, and democratic representation of the workers, among other rights, in exchange for maintaining employment in “the company.” This book depicts the first flash of restrained disillusionment: ¨forever loyal.¨These images represent the seed of the social order that was established in many industrial cities around the world.

Las fotografías que integran este libro forman parte del archivo del fotógrafo Alberto Flores Varela y la mayoría fueron tomadas por encargo de la Sociedad Cuauhtémoc y Famosa (SCyF), institución creada en 1918 por Cervecería Cuauhtémoc, empresa fundadora del Monterrey moderno. Cabe recordar que el contexto de aquellos años era de revolución. La élite empresarial se encontraba totalmente amenazada por la cartera de derechos laborales contenidos en la nueva constitución de 1917, que incluía el derecho a huelga. Callados, en la mesa familiar, sonriendo, levantando un poco más la botella, no tanto, ¡no se muevan! Así fueron domesticados los trabajadores “más afortunados” del Monterrey moderno. Estas imágenes representan la simiente del orden social que acabó por instalarse en muchas ciudades industriales del orbe. Así se decidió sacrificar la libertad de expresión, la libre asociación y la representación democrática de los trabajadores, entre otros derechos, a cambio de conservar el empleo en “la compañía”.

Infinity Complex Landscape is a photography fanzine documenting Yoshie Itasaka’s journey through contemporary East Ukraine landscape, its complexities and its contradictions.

“(…)
It is impossible for one nation to assimilate the culture of another nation completely.
Life and development of culture has various patterns.

The Culture of a creator and the culture of a borrower will continue to develop,
but in different directions. All of this is often complicated by differing conditions and types.

It is wrong to identify the merger of cultures with the assimilation of a foreign culture.
As a general rule, only a mixture of cultures is possible. However, despite this impossibility,
many nations exert immense effort in pursuit of such assimilation…
(…)”

“Europe and Mankind” by Nikolai Sergeyevich Trubetzkoy, Sofia, 1920
