Kein Fan der Politikerin, aber großer Fan dieses Wahlkampfs. Manuela Schwesig macht ihren Wahlkampf klar gegen blau und klar als Frau - Eben die Frau gegen blau. Selten gelang es Demokrat*innen in letzter Zeit, ein so klares Profil zu kommunizieren.

A gravity-defying self-portrait from the renowned "Today's Levitation" (Yowayowa) photography project by Japanese artist Natsumi Hayashi. The image was captured using a fast shutter speed to freeze mid-air motion -- the project creates a surreal illusion of floating freely without gravity.
Captured with striking lightness and whimsical precision, this self-portrait from Natsumi Hayashi’s acclaimed series Today’s Levitation (Honjitsu no Fuyū) epitomizes her surreal, poetic approach to ordinary urban spaces. Frozen mid-stride like a sprinter gliding effortlessly through the atmosphere, Hayashi hovers above the pavement before a weathered, rusted storefront shutter. Clad in a vintage-style floral print dress and bright green shoes, her posture remains impossibly calm—her facial expression untroubled and her torso held perfectly level, as though gravity had momentarily ceased to apply to her alone.

What makes the photograph particularly captivating is the subtle interplay of athletic precision, technical craft, and witty visual narrative. To achieve these weightless illusions without digital manipulation or safety wires, Hayashi relied on a fast shutter speed and a ten-second camera timer, frequently jumping dozens or even hundreds of times until achieving a split second of total poise. In a delightful touch of humor, she carries a small glass filled with a beverage perfectly upright, defying the kinetic energy of the leap. Directly behind her, a faded mural on the corrugated shutter depicts a runner striding forward with arms raised in victory—a playful nod to classic Japanese athletic motifs that creates a charming, mid-air dialogue between the painted figure and Hayashi’s frozen flight.

Rabbits playing serious sumo. During 1871-73 it was popular for Tokyo residents to keep rabbits, and many rabbit pictures such as these were published. These will be exhibited at the “Ota Memorial Museum collection” exhibition until 7/26. [Text by Ota Memorial Museum of Art”]
The composition focuses on two anthropomorphic rabbits engaged in a serious sumo match (sumō), parodying the intense physical drama and ritual of Japan's national sport. 

The locked-horn posture of the two competing leporine wrestlers is intense. Positioned centrally over the woven ring, they lean heavily into one another in a classic sumo grapple (kumi-tai), their long ears pinning backward and their small paws gripping each other's shoulders with immense strength. The rabbit on the left features a pale coat marked with scattered black spots, while the competitor on the right displays a heavily mottled, black-and-grey patched fur pattern with striking, ruby-red eyes that convey an expression of fierce concentration. Both animals are rendered with an incredible sense of muscular tension, their powerful hind legs planted wide apart to resist being thrown from the match.

Underscoring the theatricality of the performance is their immaculate professional sumo attire. Each rabbit wears a heavily fringed ceremonial apron or loincloth (keshō-mawashi) wrapped around its waist.  A tiny sliver of a third participant's leg and dark garment peeks into the upper edge of the frame, hinting at a referee (gyōji) or a waiting competitor overlooking the bout.

The match takes place directly upon the textured, straw-woven bales of a traditional sumo ring (dohyō), visible along the lower margin of the print. The background consists of a textured, mottled grey-beige field speckled with fine black flecks, creating an atmospheric studio or arena setting. Three distinct rectangular cartouches populate the negative space: two yellow name plaques frame the wrestlers on the left and right, while a prominent lacquer-red vertical cartouche rests near the lower center, each filled with elegant calligraphy that likely names the rabbit contenders in the style of official tournament rankings (banzuke).
