the real world still exists

I am on the train with curator Carsten Seiffarth heading from Berlin to Nuremberg on the ICE train.  It is the first time we have been out of the city since the lockdown and the excitement is palpable. We have masks but only wear them when the masked guard appears. There are 5 other people in the large carriage and buzzing through the spring growing countryside, turns out to be the most calming and normal experience of the entire trip.
