sebastien a french-american artist :
you can have big troubles without insurance here but
thousands of people drive without licence
ng: Ah!!?
sebastien: you should take a car working with vegetal oil
ng: do you think it really works a car with vegetal oil?
sebastien: yes pretty well
you can cross usa from mc donald to mc donald
and deal the old vegetal oil
(this old oil sounds degusting to me and the project fucking besogneux!!)
ng: the top is this artist from netherland
he built a car in wood working with wood
and he has to drive along the forest i hear he drove to berlin
sebastien:ah! awesome
ng:yes awesome i'd like pretty much meet him

joanna just e mail me:
"...the moment i am dreaming buying a van again...
seems to me the only home-solution which really works for me...
as soon as i have one i will be much more flexible..."
i wonder if she's really planing to live in her van
I'm precisely thinking about crossing USA with a van
new york los angeles los angeles mexico
a french artist i met in a little paris secret squat

and driving until the van is dead without any insurance
i'm answering all people here about to drive without insurance in usa

I speak with ernstin an american artist:
e: I'm sort of artist but feel more musician than artist

I think often music is more generous than visual art
e: in a way yes
ng: two days ago I hang out in chelsea openings
then in 11 av i find Tom's studio open
with his friends musicians lee michael...playing music
kind of awesome wild post country music

nell a old woman begins to speak
she lives for 45 years in NY
she now has to make a new passport
she always repeats this word - immigrant-
I'm sending an SMS to remi
my friend french poet

I love so much NY
I would like to immigrate

remi answers
immigrate? yes why not?

I'm thinking
yes it will be awesome to tell

I'm an immigrant

it will be pretty perfect
to be from nowhere
just an immigrant
TRANS LANDER

I WANT THAT

BREAK HOTEL
must study all the possibilities to immigrate

notes:
I often think I'd like to speak perfectly
another langage
and nobody knows
where you are from

ng
is about have no family no country
but it seems hopeless
to eliminate my french accent

if you are an immigrant
you must have an accent
nobody care

BREAK HOTEL
is a place with no place
UN LIEU SANS LIEU
un lieu virtuel
a virtual place
I'm starting with a blog
as a way to think
to tell to exchange
a way to follow my desire
and to follow the desire of the others
pour suivre mon désir
sans attache
et suivre le désir des autres

First I think BREAK HOTEL as a residence
very flexible in the squat LA GENERALE in Paris.
But it appears very difficult to look after a place
when you are always traveling
and may be has no sense
I mean to keep a fixed place
when you' re a nomad!

BREAK HOTEL
is
a time to think our life
travel exchange movement meeting network

deplacement
decalage

BREAK HOTEL
is
how to organise
invent a new way of life
and
NO WORK
