sie lebt in berlin, arbeitet aber überall, denn am liebsten ist sie auf reisen – in büchern und in der welt. auch wenn gerade harscher gegenwind weht, ‘weltbürgerin‘ bleibt für sie ein zauberwort. in unbekannte welten einzutauchen und sie zu übersetzen ist für sie ein weg dorthin. sie liebt geschichten über menschen, die aufbrechen, um sich neu zu erfinden.
–– reading is where the wild things are.

![GRACIELA ITURBIDE, EYES TO FLY WITH —
@coberlin
„Self-portraiture serves as a means of questioning one’s self to become more self-aware, drawing out the ideas and struggles that one carries inside. I consider it very healing. My self-portraits have always been impulsive. It wasn’t until 1989 that began to explore the genre with more intention. I made the self-portrait in which I’m covering my eyes with two birds, one living and one dead, at a difficult time in my life. I had separated trom my husband and moved into a little house in Coyoacán that was still in the process of being built. I had no money. I felt very fragile.
I titled the photograph as a question, ¿Ojos para volar? [Eyes to Fly With?]. I was wondering whether I could still continue to make photographs, whether I had the strength and enthusiasm to create new images, to fly with my eyes.“ - Graciela Iturbide
