A wild life: Memories of Snake

Let's start at the end. I live in Haus Riga in the Riedelgasse in Vienna, and it is there that I'm going to stay until the end of my days. I hope that Haus Riga will remain a while longer. But, I don't want to become older than 60. I was born in the Semmelweis Clinic, and then grew up in the 23rd district of Vienna. That was my first six years. My father was a plumber; he had his own company. My mother, who was born in Salzburg was a prostitute and alcoholic. My father was often away on site, and so it was, that while enjoying a tart, he met my mother. A project of VHS Hietzing with former homeless people now living in RIGA. Fotos: Nick Mangafas.
