Magarita

I love to travel, I enjoy meeting new people. I always wished I had enough time ahead of me, pack everything into a tiny suitcase and just travel. The opportunity was given to me through the Europartrain project, so here I am in Hoorn, a row of wagons on the tracks, from Hungary, Austria, Greece, Yugoslavia, Denmark, the Netherlands .... A group of artists materialising their ideas, turning them into works of art.

It's a joy watching them work, create trying to break the barriers of a whole different mentality, culture and background.

The train always brings to my mind the idea of non-stop motion. The scenery changes as you look through the window, as the scenery changes when you walk from one wagon to the next, moving from one artists' work to the other. Moving from Greece to Denmark or from Hungary to Yugoslavia. Leaving the Europartrain behind me, I'm happy to say that the experience of watching these people work together, a patchwork of identites was worth the trip.
