rampstyle - EN Magazine

20 September 2021

An issue we dedicate to ourselves. Us. Once again. Following on from our last rampstyle, which we called »Me for Myself«. Wonderful. How do we ideally approach this »me«? We recommend a combination of two strategies: Approach your identity hunt like Inspector Columbo, who always seems a bit off-track in the detective series of the same name, but nevertheless always solves the case. Remember: never be blinded by first impressions; good questions are subversive and open up new perspectives. Then: Celebrate boredom. Boredom is the state in which the brain goes for a walk, we can engage in stimulation or daydreaming. We are completely with ourselves. And maybe in such a moment we even come up with something unconventional like the theory of relativity. Albert Einstein's question, posed in an idle moment, »What would the world look like if I could ride on the back of a beam of light?« revolutionized a number of matters, after all. So it's nice if we can offer you a thought-provoking, relaxed boredom with this issue. With this in mind, we hope you have fun!
