This weekend brought together a transatlantic team to close a project ten years in the making: Utopia, Revisiting a German State in America. Having lived in Chicago for eight months now, I’ve almost forgotten how still and quiet day-to-day can be. Unobstructed sweeping skies served as a great host for pastel sunsets. A winery tucked away in the woods made for an incredible farewell party. Auf wiedersehen Utopia. A glimpse of my weekend in Missouri.
