l’esprit de l’escalier
…(french): usually translated as “staircase wit,” is the act of thinking of a clever comeback when it is too late to deliver it…
…approximately 375 million people speak English as their first language, in fact it’s the 3rd most commonly spoken language in the world (after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish). Interestingly enough it’s the number 1 second language used worldwide – which is why the total number of people who speak English, outnumber those of any other… …whilst it’s the most widely spoken language, there’s still a few areas it falls down on… …25 words that simply don’t exist in the english langauge…
well, i thought it was interesting anyhow…

to see more about the rather special ‘canta’ ballet project, see here (me studio was, by the way, not involved in the design of this website or project ident)

the wonderful photo series ‘les filles’ from katrien franken has been accompanied by the second series ‘les garcons’, although this latest project not yet on her website…
