In their search for genetic determinants of behavior, they studied the larvae of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Using this fly as a so-called “model system” - trying to understand certain aspects of behavior in higher organisms - they studied what might be termed as “foraging behavior”. Marta and her team discovered that there existed two types of larvae. Some fly larvae never went very far. They would consistently crawl around in circles and would remain very close to their food patch. These larvae were termed the “sitters”. On the other hand, they observed that some larvae crawled much further away. They followed longer foraging paths and moved between patches of food. These larvae were termed the “rovers”. Genetic studies could demonstrate that the difference between sitters and rovers is determined by a single gene, termed forager. By experimentally controlling the activity of this gene, sitters could be changed into rovers and vice-versa. If we look closely, humans are no different from flies. Some people live their entire lives in the town they were born in. Here they grow up, go to school, find a job, get married and raise two kids. They have never left the safe boundaries of the alcove, or perhaps they have, but traveling has never become part of their life. These people are “sitters”. They do not seek adventure. Buying new curtains gives them all the excitement they need. They are unlike the “rovers”, the restless souls: the ones who cannot stay in one place, or at least not for too long. Perhaps rovers are not satisfied with their job or their life and they start searching for something of which they only have a vague idea and which they hope to find in another part of the world. Or perhaps they have a broken heart which can only be cured far away, or an empty bank account, or both. That is quite often how they end up in the place they came to live. All of them - there are few exceptions - are born travelers. Every holiday, they haul their backpacks to countries far away. Every year they go to places more remote and stay for longer, until finally they don’t come home anymore. They have become expats. What does it mean to be an expat? What does it mean to leave everything behind - your home, your family, your friends - and come to live in a strange country such as the Philippines? Who are these expats? What strange twist of fate brought them here? Of course, there is no single answer. There are a thousand answers. The businessman who has lost everything – his house, his car, his yacht – is staring gloomily into his glass of cheap whisky, hiding from his creditors and hoping for better times. The bank employee who decided, on a grey Thursday morning, to change his life. After years of traveling all over the world, he finally found a shoulder to lay his head on. Now he runs a small bar at the harbor, together with his Philippine wife. Here you can find the French entrepreneur who takes advantage of the possibilities of this young country: if nothing goes wrong, he will be rich very soon. Or the German loner who comes here every night, gazing over his beer at the moon shining in the black sea. He has come too far and cannot go back anymore. At the next table, some dark girls with white teeth and promising eyes are smiling at him... All of them have found their new home in the Philippines. They all know too well that there is only a thin line between being rich and successful, or waking up in a sleazy hotel in Manila, having a thin cigarette for breakfast. Dear reader, the book you hold contains interviews with expats in the Philippines: travelers who found a place to rest after a long journey. It is no coincidence that the author - a keen observer of human nature - has roving eyes himself and has traveled widely across all continents. Perhaps better than anyone else, he knows that traveling is not only moving from one place to another. It is also an inner journey, in search of oneself. As such, I tend to believe that this book is not about expats in the Philippines, or at least not exclusively. It is a book about people who are willing to go very far in search of happiness and peace, something which we all seek, but so few of us ever find. - Ronny Leemans, Belgian expat in Basel, Switzerland ___ Ronny, born in 1974 in Bayern, Germany.

They are purposely composed “friendship images” of Philippine women with their western companions, souvenirs of special moments in the lives of the portrayed couples. The pictures were originally sold in twos, so that each could have their own copy. Whether the relationships documented in these photos were lasting remains an unanswered question. The artist had the images of the couples painted in oils, alluding to classic family portraits. Mounted on Aludibond, the series Remember plays with the status of the photograph and with the alleged immortality of captured dreams, staged by Füglister with a gracious frivolousness. - Christoph Tannert, Curator, Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany ___ Untitled, from Remember. 1999/2007. 42 x 60 cm, oil on canvas mounted on dibond https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad87f97b40b9dd1eda00de5/1524241152424-V91FKT0BNAGAYQ855T45/Benjamin_Fueglister_1280px_RGB_PICK-UP_HIDEAWAY_fu%CC%88glister2_01.jpg Artworks Pick-up, from Pick-u/Hideaway, 2006 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad87f97b40b9dd1eda00de5/1524242717019-R6XZKI76D11Q6R26OXHF/Benjamin_Fueglister_1280px_RGB_Posebook_PE_Pose_Book_Benjamin_Fueglister_Images_72dpi_1200px_Februrary_2016_03_02.jpg Artworks - Posebook Posebook deals with the history of the peepshow as a form of adult entertainment.

Sadness lives in each of us – the human body is made up of 80% water and 100% time. These are elements of mortality against which the human spirit wages war. Health crazes and the beauty business are the weapons with which we try to forget death. Such are the thoughts that invade the observer of the Body/Mind series by Benjamin Füglister. The body is on the run, fleeing from itself, outrun by gravity - a force that executes its painful handiwork invisibly. Bodies are wounds of creation, and art is their narrator. Art whispers stories of a spirit that longs for lust, a lust that longs for beauty, and it is here that self-doubt, self-pity, hate and pride originate. Bodies that are not at home in themselves are always fleeting, always ugly, always hiding. The body is a victim of the circumstances of genetic deterioration. It is a driven entity, a vagabond at the universe’s edge, where we see it in Benjamin Füglister’s photographic fantasies.- Gerald Uhlig, Gallery Owner, Berlin, Germany ––– Untitled, from Body/Mind, 2006 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad87f97b40b9dd1eda00de5/1685618101891-WN7RYDVR21OJ6BUFYMJB/DALL%C2%B7E+2023-05-30+19.20.44+-+View+from+the+Window+at+Gras.png Artworks - View from the Window at Grass PROJECT STATEMENT IN CONVERSATION WITH ChatGPT-4.0 The Artist: So, when I ask DALL·E AI to generate a photograph from the original captions of the 10 most iconic photographs, what happens and why? Chat GPT-4: First, it's important to understand what DALL·E is and what it does. DALL·E is a variant of GPT-3 developed by OpenAI, designed specifically to generate images from text descriptions. However, as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, DALL·E was only capable of generating novel, creative images based on text inputs - not exact replications of existing photographs or precise real-world objects. The technology essentially imagines a new image based on the description it's given. Now, let's consider what would happen if you asked DALL·E to generate a photograph from the original captions of the 10 most iconic photographs. Given the captions of these photographs, DALL·E would attempt to generate images that it interprets from the text. However, due to the limited description in a caption, it's highly unlikely the generated images would closely resemble the original iconic photos. This is because DALL·E creates images based on the information provided in the description and does not have the ability to recall or reproduce specific photographs or images from its training data. Additionally, many iconic photos are recognized not only for the objects and subjects they depict, but also for their context, moment, and artistic composition – elements that may not be fully captured in a caption. The results would therefore be DALL·E's creative interpretations of those captions and not exact replicas of the iconic photographs. The generated images would depend on how detailed and descriptive the captions are, and how DALL·E interprets this text. It's important to note that AI systems like DALL·E are trained on large datasets and are not given specific information or have access to specific databases of known photographs. They don't "know" the world in the way humans do, but instead generate outputs based on patterns and structures they've learned during their training ––– View from the Window at Grass, DALL·E, 1.05.2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad87f97b40b9dd1eda00de5/1685718619386-9Y4BGBOZST61EE2I1XXP/DALL%C2%B7E+2023-06-01+17.33.28+-+Steve+McCurry+took+this+famous+photograph+during+a+trip+to+Afghanistan+in+1984+to+document+the+migration+of+Afghan+refugees.+This+picture+of+17-year-o.png Artworks https://www.benjaminfueglister.com/journalism daily 0.75 2019-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad87f97b40b9dd1eda00de5/1537791633675-V3NPVSKR3Z6RH6I4RW9X/TFO_1920px_RGB_DSC5678_196.jpg Journalism https://www.benjaminfueglister.com/journalism/poobabies1 monthly 0.5 2020-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad87f97b40b9dd1eda00de5/1584957194384-JFQ95LQCQEYQ81XOVCZB/Poor_Babies_2020__DSC9050.jpg Journalism - Traumatisierung durch virtuelle Prostitution: „Die Kinder begreifen nicht, was mit ihnen geschehen ist“ „Ich mochte es nicht, ich wollte es nicht, aber ich hatte Angst vor der Frau.“ Die 14-jährige JM lebt seit Ende 2019 im Good Shephard Home auf Cebu.

Each issue was published on a specific theme. One photographer designed all the cards in each issue. The text editors compiled contributions for the backs of the cards that illuminated the theme from very different angles. Every two months a new, surprising combination of pictures and texts appeared. The texts did not explain the pictures, nor did the pictures illustrate the texts. Image and text existed independently of each other. Nevertheless, they formed an inseparable unit in sodbrand. Hardly any other magazine gave the same importance to images and text as sodbrand. With its special format (10.5 x 21 cm), sodbrand encouraged collecting. The magazine was readable both as a whole and in its individual parts - the individual cards. The magazine was available free of charge in selected pubs and could also be bought or ordered in bookshops. The readership consisted of urban, sophisticated people between the ages of 25 and 40. Benjamin Füglister launched the magazine in 2003 together with Claudio Miozzari. Three issues were published. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad87f97b40b9dd1eda00de5/1613080630794-58HIVJOKYLYQU0E4BCZ8/Web_Color_Management_Lagos_2015_DSC0910.png Now This: f#cklister.works - CAP Association – Executing African Photography Projects The CAP Association is a not for profit association based in Basel, Switzerland executing African photography projects since 2016.
