Dirt Club – Henning Strassburger
29th August – 3rd October 2015
Opening 28th August, 6 – 8 pm
P. was angsty.
I mean really angsty.
It could have been some serious teen angst or something, maybe it was just a
depression.
P. flipped through some stupid magazines, hating each of the grinning faces staring at
him, all the meaninglessness in their eyes.
P. knew this feeling.
It was a pure nothing.
And this was all he had.
Nothing.
That felt dirty.
It felt bad.
I mean really bad.
His angst was back.
