After the incident with Ștefan and the broken window last year, the Star of Ballo left his place of origin and handled himself over to Zürich Oerlikon for a next chapter to begin — following a perfectly timed invitation after becoming homeless —

called LONGTANG; 弄堂, describing an alleway — snaking and organically grown (as opposed to being thoroughly planned beforehand)

If you are interested in the approach of LONGTANG being a "Tank to think through contemporary art", Ballostar recommends going through the content featured online at www.longtang.life

THE HEIZMANN'S PLAYED THEIR MUSIC AND TAPES COULD BE OBTAINED

Twinkle twinkle little star

can't find you anymore

how are you doing so far?

​

Look there

I see movement off in the distance

let's wave hands up high and wait for a signal

​

It seems that he's mocking us

won't you reply?

He finally comes closer

passing by to say hi

​

may we join him

this time

for reasons named life

​

BIG BANGS

LONG TANGS

Sternlein, Sternlein am Himmelsg’wand

wohin verschlug es das Bällchen – 

sag’, ist’s noch im Land?

​

fürwahr!
es schlingelt von Stadt zu Stadt

doch bringt nichts an G’schenk’

ganz leer ist sein Sack

​

ein klitzekleines Bettchen aus Stroh

darüber wär’s jetzt froh’

die Frage allein – wo es steht,

ja, wo?

​

heissa und hurra!

endlich – irgendwann

kann’s schliesslich weil’n

in Stätten zu langem Tang

BINGO BONGO
