He invited friends to write songs on the themes of 'Here' and 'There' and designed two posters for Ici. and Là-bas. the titles of the two-part multimedia installation. Ici. was shown in the Leopold-Hoesch-Museum & Papiermuseum Düren and Là-bas. at the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art and in the Kunsthaus Glarus in Switzerland.
