Drei zentrale Merkmale der Lebensqualität von Menschen mit Demenz sind das Gefühl etwas Sinnvolles zu tun, zu etwas nütze zu sein und in positiven Beziehungen mit anderen zu stehen. Die niederländische Autorin bietet auf diesem Hintergrund - ein ganzes Feuerwerk guter Ideen für eine sinnvolle und nützliche Beschäftigung und Aktivierung von Menschen mit Demenz - praxisorientierte, direkt umsetzbare kreative Vorschläge - reich illustrierte Anleitungen für die Aktivitäten - Aktivierungsangebote für Menschen, die in Pflegeheimen, Tagespflegezentren und zu Hause leben. "Wenn es Schokolade regnet" wurde geschrieben für Menschen, die in Pflegeheimen, in Tagespflegezentren und in der häuslichen Umgebung arbeiten und das Wohlbefinden von Menschen mit Demenz durch kreative Aktivitäten verbessern wollen. Es ist geeignet für Menschen mit wenig Erfahrung, auch für Familienangehörige, weil die Vorschläge praxisorientiert sind und außerdem berücksichtigen, was wirklich machbar ist; es ist auch geeignet für erfahrene Praktiker, weil es ihnen kreativere und effizientere Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten vermittelt. Jede einzelne Idee wurde in vielen unterschiedlichen Settings der Pflege und Betreuung von Menschen mit Demenz erfolgreich angewendet.

The American artist Sarah Morris talks with the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist about her films and paintings, which explore buildings, cities and structures and centers of power. The focus of the conversation is her longtime interest in urban developments, architecture and architects like Philip Johnson, Mies van der Rohe, Robert Venturi and many others. Sarah Morris (born 1967) lives and works in New York and London. Since the mid-1990s, she has been making complex abstract paintings and films. These works, are derived from close inspection of architectural details combined with a critical sensitivity to the psychology of a city and its key protagonists. She showed her work in many solo exhibitions including Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin (2001), Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2005) and MMK in Frankfurt (2009).
