Chongqing could be positioned for both strong population and economic growth.
The city has grand plans.
I am deeply impressed in different ways – QUESTIONS TO THE MOON is the thoughtful result after a two week stay in this city.

From Latin, the term “bonus” (good) is used primarily in the financial sector and associated with money.
Liberated from this manifestation, this concept in BONUS is traced back to human existence. It is about the moment of the intersection, a often tiny moment, before the process of solving again.

A parable about time and responsibility.

Text in the video:

Slow and steady wins the race! This year I already mended a pair of Shoes; and will not start with the next pair until this naughty Taylor Hampel will have darned my sunday trousers.
Hello, master taylor Hampel! When am I supposed to put on my sunday trousers?
Oh, hold your horses! Just yesterday, I sewed a seam. I am going to rest now until that slacker of a bricklayer will have build a new tailor’s workshop for me.
Master bricklayer Meier! By when will you be ready with my new workshop? Why should I lay a brick every day?
Rather it is the Mayors turn to start his official acts! I’ll get there when I get there!
I did a lot of official acts lately and will not act until my dawdling wife will have cooked my dinner.
Always put off till tomorrow what you can do today!
No, at first it is the taylor’s turn to sew. But before, the bricklayer starts to lay bricks.
I wouldn’t dream of it!
I never start first!
Well, as I said in the beginning, slow and steady wins the race!
Translation: Norbert Riechmann

A parable.
