In Westdeutschland wurden mit dem Bau der innerdeutschen Grenze Flugblätter, Zeitschriften und später auch Bücher an gasgefüllten Ballons befestigt, um sie bei entsprechenden Windverhältnissen durch einen zeitgesteuerten Mechanismus auf dem Gebiet der DDR abzuwerfen. Ohne Kontextualisierung könnten die Ballons vieles sein: Kinderspiel, Land Art, performative Installation, meteorologisches Messinstrument oder eben ein Mittel zur Verbreitung politischer Interessen. In Ballons stehen Fotos aus dem Archiv der Staatssicherheit und protokollartige Texte nebeneinander, die den Flug der Transportballons und die Auswirkungen ihrer Landung dokumentieren. In der Zusammenstellung entstehen vor den Augen der Leser·innen Bilder aus dem Alltag in der DDR; ein Alltag voller zerschlagener Dächer, zerrissener Stromkabel und vernichteter Flugblätter; ein Alltag, der so oder so ähnlich gewesen sein könnte. Jens Klein, geb. 1970 in Apolda, lebt und arbeitet in Leipzig. Seine Arbeiten wurden in zahlreichen Ausstellungen gezeigt, u.a. im Folkwang Museum Essen, in der Villa Stuck und in den Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden. Er erhielt u.a. den Dokumentarfotografie Förderpreis der Wüstenrot Stiftung, ein Arbeitsstipendium des Kunstfonds Bonn und das DZ Bank Förderstipendium 2021/22. -- When the inner-German border was established, West Germans would attach leaflets and magazines - and subsequently books too - to gas-filled balloons installed with a timer mechanism that dropped them in the GDR if wind conditions were favourable. In the absence of any contextualization, the balloons could be many things: a child's plaything, land art, a performative installation, a meteorological measuring instrument, or even a means of broadcasting political concerns. Balloons juxtaposes photos from the Stasi archives with texts in the form of logs documenting the flight of the transport balloons and the consequences of their landing. The images in the compilation vividly convey everyday life in the GDR: a litany of smashed roofs, torn power cables and destroyed leaflets; a routine existence that might have looked this way or something like it. Jens Klein, b. 1970 in Apolda, lives and works in Leipzig. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, including at the Folkwang Museum Essen, the Villa Stuck and the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. He has received, among others, the Documentary Photography Award of the Wüstenrot Foundation, a working scholarship from the Kunstfonds Bonn and the DZ Bank Scholarship 2021 / 22.

helped treat my sore neck
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Camping Pillow(Pack of 1)
This pillow — after dialing in the right amount of shredded foam — has greatly helped my sore neck. Initially, I had to remove some foam. Then I gradually added foam until it reached optimum comfort and support. It is also CPAP-friendly — especially when I position my head near the pillow's edge. (I am a left-side sleeper.) I like the travel size because I use a bulky hugging pillow to ease stress on my shoulder and elbow. That makes my side of the bed feel cramped if using a larger head pillow. A smaller pillow is easy to flip end-to-end in the middle of the night. I have spent lots of money on pillows over the years, but this is the best I've ever had for relieving [1] neck pain and [2] CPAP mask seal problems. Very comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I did not notice any unpleasant smell — and I am usually sensitive to that kind of thing. Would highly recommend.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!
