Ottawa / Market

As a child in Hong Kong, I was always mesmerized by all the glass and mirrors and the way they created this illusion of space. My favourite were aquariums with seahorses in them. Kowloon Market in Chinatown satiates my aquaphilia with their fish tanks, while also satiating my appetite for freshly bonked fish cleaned and ready to be steamed.

Hellesylt / Cafe

Cutest coffee and pastries place around in my travel along Norway. The best part is that they sell some vintage objects as one pieces tea cup or other particular house items. On a side, in the coffee shop you can find a thick library, full of old and new books. Super recommended!

Milan / Bar

Tiny wine bar and store in Milan's Chinatown area, selling wine by the bottle and by the glass, alongside small plates/snacks. Friendly staff and great selection of wine. Always popular so be prepared to stand!

Lucerne / Club

Culture

Antwerp / Place

This sight reminds me of the beginning of Antonioni's L'Avventura. In other words: again a confrontation with the majesty of nature. While standing here, I realize that water has no foundation to build on. I am overwhelmed: as human beings, we are forced to live our lives in uncertainty while facing the horizon of death.

London / Cafe

I found out an amazing fact recently about this place which weirdly enough relates back to my interest of analogue TV distortions in my work. The building where the restaurant stands is where John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of Television. If that doesn’t want to make you go there, the band Pulp also wrote a song of the same name on their Different Class album. Apart from these two great facts their food is pretty darn good too!

London / River

This is the place where ghost pirates roam in times forgotten. Where great poems were once written. Everything has happened here. A few abandoned boats and much stillness. And an island in the middle. Most curious. Not much choice but to explore as far as your nerves will take you. Watch out for Zorro the dog.

Stockholm / Restaurant

Made famous by owner Benny from ABBA, this place is pure joy for any real foodie.

London / Place

The Lambeth Walk is not as billed in the song. Quite a bleak but somehow beautiful mishmash of architectural accident–or–design; a legacy of stray WWII bombs intended for more auspicious near-at-hand targets, such as the Houses of Parliament. I study sculpture here each Monday; a lovely workshop inside. The exterior features one of only a few examples of an outside pulpit, apparently for the minister to take his message direct to the shoppers, in the Walk's heyday.

Dublin / Area

It’s wonderful to get lost in the residential areas of the South side of the city. It is commonly known for being the wealthier side of the river and often faces some criticism for this. There are incredible buildings and I enjoy looking into the houses and seeing how the residents live.

Neede / Area

North of Neede lies a beautiful, gently sloping landscape shaped 150.000 years ago by an ice age. Great place to cycle or walk.

Venice / Restaurant

With a wood panelled interior and romantic low light, this restaurant exudes the type of atmosphere you imagine of a high seas luxury cruise or train travel in the 1920s. The waiters are officiously attentive, the food incredibly tasty and fresh and the experience one not to be missed in Venice. Located near the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, you cross a small bridge and enter directly into the front door of this cosy eatery. Great spot for an authentic Venetian meal and opportunity to dine in a rather special canal-side interior.

Painter, Day-dreamer, Wanderer. Corn sets out to explore the deepest levels of the human subconscious. The atmospheric, melancholic tones of her drawings and paintings evoke sensations of dislocation. These works document her interest in what is lost and what is found, the ambivalence between what is the fleeting memory and what is synthesized as a trace within the landscape.
