"...a person free to use his time for the whole of his life, free to go where he wants, when he wants, cannot make the greatest use of his freedom in a world ruled by the clock and the imperative of a fixed abode. As a way of life Homo Ludens will demand, firstly, that he responds to his need for playing, for adventure, for mobility, as well as all the conditions that facilitate the free creation of his own life. Until then, the principle activity of man had been the exploration of his natural surroundings. Homo Ludens himself will seek to transform, to recreate, those surroundings, that world, according to his new needs." [Homo Ludens 02] Dreams of a career of an artist-musician in New York. Born and raised in Zurich and Zollikon, educated in commerce in Zurich. A sound engineer by trade, six months in Rome – breaking with the old life models, discovering new things. Return to Zurich, then a few months in New York – total immersion in the city, where live goes on 24 hours a day. Back to Zurich, then three visits to Tel Aviv – a new source of inspiration. Many contacts remain. He does not live in comfort, enjoys the moment, does not think of Friday on Monday. Lives though the accusation of running away, chooses freedom instead of money. Awaits another signal calling him for a new trip abroad, speaks five languages, feels happy. 01_Relocation
