After our MOTO meeting in Damascus we decided to set up an own MOTO web site. You all are very much invited to join:

Hi my dears! Should I imagine that you are still running around the empty rooms of a spectral National Museum by night? Don't you fear ghosts? I hope that someone can tell me what happened after I left and if you stated something else concerning the future of our Museum. Kisses from the Roman branch of MOTO

Our favorite Omayad-Mosque merchant runs a Bavarian Hunters Hut in his spare time.

Pizza has prevailed - utterly & globally.

i would like to propose the room of the found photographs for the museum of occident.
found photographs, illusions of anonymous lives

Creating big collage panoramas with the found photographs, and the ones in the collection from europe. about the ideas of utopia, perfect happy society in europe and their relatives in Syria.

Is the idea of utopia a characteristic collective dream of europe? which is the "utopia" "utopic society" for middle east, for syria in particular?

I WOULD LOVE TO INVITE ALL THE PEOPLE TO COLLECT SOME FOUND PHOTOS AT FLEA MARKETS, ANTIQUE SHOPS...ETC AND BRING THEM TO DAMASCUS TO WORK ON THEM. ALSO MAYBE WE CAN SCAN THEM AND START A NEW SECTION
