Wednesday, June 27th, I was inworld in the morning shortly. I intended to read messages and to add to my inventory eventually. Kitty was inworld and I saw her for a hug. She’s very devoted and keeps in close contact not only to Mistress Jenny, who is more often inworld during Kitty’s prime time, but also to me. And she gave me an hint for a game with the slaves and subs. I discussed that later with Mistress Jenny and we intend to have our fun with it.

June 27th: Diomita and Kitty

Mistress Jenny and I had a relaxed and more quiet night. slave kelly and slave Flo were inworld. We first went on a kinkploring tour but the first site was gone and the 2nd one was a nice and kinky place but deserted. I have been there before and it was empty as well. I took no pictures. We went on to Psi’s realm and later to Mesmerize Dungeon and stayed at both places for a bit reading profiles, chatting and teasing our slaves.

June 27th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo and slave kelly at home and at Mesmerize Dungeon

slave kelly had to leave and Mistress Jenny and I went over to club DeLust. We took slave Flo with us, who danced there for us and the other guests. And that’s it already about Wednesday night.

Tuesday, June 26th, began with a full house. Angelique and gwenney were at home in our house and slave Flo was dusting. When I arrived vero came by as well and had Bobbi (Bobbi Fishnet) with her at her leash and nicely tied up in ropes. She had in mind to give Bobbi to me and us as a present but I refused the offer and proposed to fill up the cages at Sarah’s home, a place we should visit again. It’s just over the bridge! Mistress Jenny joined us soon after. We had a full house.

June 26th – a full house at home: vero, Bobbi Fishnet, slave Flo, Angelique, Mistress Jenny, Diomita, gwenney

After vero had left we decided to go to “The Red Room“. I was there with Mistress Jenny in February (read here) and did not visit it since. But Mistress Jenny met with Kitty there just a few days ago and Kitty told her that she met nice people over there. And it is a nice atmosphere there for sure anyway. The Red Room is owned by Hinnla.

June 26th at The Red Room: Angelique, slave Flo, Diomita, Mistress Jenny, gwenney and a slave encased in rubber

Actually it was not very busy that night but not empty either. There were 3 other guests and one rubber encased slave did catch our attention as her rubber encasement did look quite similiar to the one Anne is looking for in the frame of her “Rubber Project”. What a conincidence! Just that day I got an offline message from Anne, who told me that she’s back from vacation. We should find her, still being at Rubber Rocket Doll, on the porch of our house in her personal cell. We chatted with the rubber slave and inspected her outfit in detail. We will see if the information we could gather is helpful for Anne’s project.

June 26th at The Red Room: Angelique, Diomita and Mistress Jenny cuddling, slave Flo and slave encased in rubber watching, gwenney tied up spread eagled

We spent the night at The Red Room. I fixed gwenney on the table in the center of the room and Mistress Jenny, Angelique and I cuddled on the nearby lounger. slave Flo and helplessly tied-up gwenney watched us. Time flew by way to quickly once again. After we returned home and slave FLo had left, Mistress Jenny and I retreated to our skybox. We decided to get the lounger for us, as it offers animations for three persons. That’s another upside of Second Life compared to RL, even furniture shops are open 24/7 and there’re no delivery periods. Of course Mistress Jenny and I tested the new piece of furniture right away (no pictures *winks*).

Monday afternoon, June 25th, Mistress Jenny exchanged my sub collar with my Ehesklavin collar taking me into a red light, as we call it, and into deep subspace. Every time she does that is a bit particular, it is strengthening her position and a special experience of helplessness.
This time she wanted me to wear the nose ring, that our slaves are wearing. It was a bit difficult to get it working. I had only copies with Mistress Jenny and myself a fixed owners. Luckily the creator was online and could help me getting it right for Mistress Jenny. Another loss of control for me.

June 25th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita (1)

Mistress put me into the reverse straight jacket, gagged me, prevented private chat to others and added the veil. slave kelly and Angelique tried talking to me, noticing that Mistress took full control of her Ehesklavin. Then Mistress Jenny took me to club DeLust for the rest of the afternoon where she enjoyed having me under her full control. When we had to leave, she left me restricted like this in our skybox. She knew very well that I wouldn’t go anywhere like this.

June 25th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita (2)

At night Mistress Jenny released me from the gag, the veil and the reverse straight jacket before we went down to see the slaves. slave kelly, gwenney and Leana were at home and Angelique joined soon after. Leana and gwenney have been visiting us quite often lately and Mistress wanted them restrained. We do prefer Real Restraints by Marine Kelley as basic gear for our subs and slaves.
In order that we both, Mistress Jenny and I, have access to the gear, we both need a master key for it. Technically we have a script that needs to be added to the active parts of the Real Restraints. While I worked adding this feature to the gear of gwenney and Leana and had a busy start into the night, Mistress Jenny relaxed, chatted and had slave kelly licking her boots.

June 25th at Mesmerize Dungeon: Angelique, Mistress Jenny, slave kelly, gwenney, Diomita and Leana (from left to right)

It took about half an hour to get it all done, then we went to Mesmerize Dungeon with Angelique, slave kelly, gwenney and Leana for the rest of the night. The title of this diary entry is referring to the conincidence that we all were wearing black clothes. Just Mistress Jenny and I had some white straps in our (fitting) outfits as a contrast.

Sunday afternoon, June 24th, I met Angelique at home. A spanking of her was more than overdue for several bratty remarks. When I picked up slave Flo and her at Ladies Paradies (read here) to take them home because our house needed to be cleaned she dared to ask me why I didn’t clean myself. In addition she proposed to Mistress the new corset that I’m wearing now and of course she had some more bratty remarks about it.
I ignored her protests, ordered her over my lap and spanked her with my bare hand. I hadn’t finished yet when Mistress Jenny came inworld. Hence I stopped and ordered Angelique to put her skirt back on. Of course she retarded dressing again and as Mistress Jenny entered the room, Angelique was just putting her skirt back on and was still sobbing and crying. Mistress did ignore her sobbing, she said nothing about it, but she gathered exactly what happened.

June 24th: Angelique, Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home

To my surprise she instead just ordered Angelique to tighten my corset to the next level, which Angelique did without hesitating under Mistress’ supervision. The corset is quite tight now and I can hardly walk or stand normally in it anymore.
Mistress Jenny really likes the look of the corset with the boots, and she likes having me and Angelique dressed similiar. That said Mistress took Angelique and me back to the DHB store and allowed me to buy the corset and the boots for her. Mistress changed into the corset and the boots, then we went on a kinkploring tour to Appleby Manor, a place that Angelique had come across.

June 24th: Entering Appleby Manor

According to the landmark description Appley Manor, the former private home of a retired Admiral, is now a luxurious retreat for hedonism and pleasure of many types. It is under the management of Lady Magda (magda1851). The landing point is at a jetty right opposite of the entrance gate to the estate. At the entrance is a nice overview map.

June 24th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Angelique at Appleby Manor (1)

We first visited the main house with the lobby and the lounge which is really luxurious and spacious. Before we could continue exploring we met Lady Magda who welcomed us. We had a short chat and roleplay with her and with a new slave of her who joined us soon after. Unfortunately Mistress Jenny and I had to leave and hence we left Angelique there. We might return some time soon to continue exploring Appleby Manor.

June 24th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Angelique at Appleby Manor (1)

Back at our private skybox, Mistress Jenny chained me to the wall and added a gag before she left. She does make it very clear to me who is in charge.

June 24th. Mistress Jenny storing her Ehesklavin Diomita

Sunday night was relaxed. After Mistress Jenny had released me, we went to Mesmerize Dungeon with slave Flo and spent about half an hour there chatting and enjoying some eye candy. Then we went home and had a round of skipee with Angelique and slave Flo. Angelique had another little accident during the game, just on the same chair where slave Flo had an accident the night before. We need to ensure that this won’t become a regular behavior! And Angelique earned again an additional spanking, as she confessed that she had exchanged the chairs before.

June 24th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo at Mesmerize Dungeon / at home: Angelique, slave Flo, slave slut cecy, Diomita and Mistress Jenny

At the end of the game (I won it again) slave slut cecy joined us. Her visits have become rare due to her RL but she tries hard to stay in touch. We ended Sunday night at our Fetisch Club Chez Maurer where slut cecy danced for us.

Simploring 2018 (55) Fractal Chaos Theory by Redi

01 Jul 2018 2 Comments

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , , ,

Saturday, June 23rd, when I scrolled over the new entries at scoop.it SL Destinations my attention was caught by a title and a picture “Fractal Chaos Theory – Redi (red.bikcin) – Diotima, Gigli Waves, Second life“.

Red&Danni – R&D art gallery

I like fractals and they always attracted me in their simplicity and simlutaneously in their complexity. I have seen quite some great exhibtions of fractal art in Second Life already. The title caught my attention because of Diotima, which is a greek name and up to today a quite rare female fist name. When I joined Second Life more than 10 years ago, I selected this name as my first name – and made a typo. That’s how Diomita was created.

This said, I had to visit this place. It is an art gallery. I couldn’t find out really much about it as there’s no notecard and no landmark description. The plot is owned by a group named Red&Danni, which was founded by Jos Kass. The group picture contains a text “R&D art gallery” – Red&Danni art gallery? The plot is named “Diotima, Ocio y Cultura”. Ocio y Cultura is Spanish and means leisure and culture.

Fractal Chaos Theory by Redi (Red Bikcin) – the exhibition at R&D gallery (1)

I assume that Redi (Red Bikcin) is involved or co-owning the R&D gallery. Currently there’s an exhibition of Red Bikcin’s fractal art. The exhibition is quite large and extends over 2 floors. Where you enter the gallery there’re innumerable live sized holograms of one and the same person in black and white, obviously it is a neko.
The room is surrounded by big fractal objects and at it’s end you walk through a colourful archway into another room. Every once in a while you find educational texts about fractals and I will quote them later on.
The second room and the whole second floor, that you reach walking upstairs at the end of the second room, has large fractal objects and most of them are steadily moving. They are transparent and often you literally walk through them. Every piece is very colourful, the whole exhibtion is very colourful. Embedded are some single pieces of Red Bikcin, and some of them are even for sale for reasonable prices.

Fractal Chaos Theory by Redi (Red Bikcin) – the exhibition at R&D gallery (2)

“Chaos is the science of surprises, of the nonlinear and the unpredictable. While most raditional science deals with supposedly predictable phenomena, Chaos Theory deals with nonlinear things that are effectively impossible to predict or control.”

“The phenomena of Chaos are often described by fractal mathematics, which captures the infinite complexity of nature. Many natural objects exhibit fractal properties. Recognizing the chaotic, fractal nature of our world can give us new insight, power and wisdom.”

Fractal Chaos Theory by Redi (Red Bikcin) – the exhibition at R&D gallery (3)

“A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are seld-similar across diffent scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop.”

“Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos. Geometrically, they exist in between our familiar dimensions. Fractal patterns are extremely familiar. Order / Disorder Chaos is not simply disorder. Chaos explores the transistions between order and disorder, which often occur in surprising ways.”

“Simply put, a fratal is a geometric object that is similar to itself on all scales. It you zoom in on a fractal object it will look similar or exactly like the original shape. This property is called self-similarity. But if you put an image fractal in a SL prim, and you modify the structures of that prim, the possibilities of chaotic changes they are endless. Fractals are of particular relevance in the field of chaos theory, since the graphs of most chaotic processes are fractal.”

Fractal Chaos Theory by Redi (Red Bikcin) – the exhibition at R&D gallery (4)

Red Bikcin’s exhibition about fractals at R&D gallery is not only educational, it lets you experience the fractals as you’re surrounded by them in all dimensions. And as many of the fractals and objects are steadily changing and moving, you get different imrepssions every second. The concept with transparent walls and floors give the impression of endlessness. I had a closer look at the single objects of Red Bikcin as well and I really liked them, smaller pieces of art that do unfold their effect even as a stand-alone piece of art.

At the end of my visit I bought one of Red Bikcin’s stand-alone objects and placed it at home near to our dancefloor. Slowly I begin to get a collection of art presented in Second Life.

June 23rd at home: Diomita placing Red Bikcin’s fractal art piece near to the dance floor.

It’s a shame that there’s no more information about the artist Red Bikcin and her profile doesn’t give away much of her as well (as I don’t speak Spanish). I enjoyed my visit very much! Thank you Redi for your art, the educational texts about fractals and the wonderful and colourful experience that you provide with this exhibition. Thank you Jos Kass and whoever else is involved in the R&D gallery.

Diary 2018 (108) June 22nd/23rd Corsets

30 Jun 2018 Leave a comment

We had our regular Friday night party on June 22nd. It was well attended and fun as always. There’s nothing else to report for the diary from Friday.

At our Friday night party, June 22nd: slave Flo, Angelique, Diomita, Mistress Jenny, slave kelly

Saturday afternoon, June 23rd, I met with Mistress Jenny. She had hinted Friday night already that she intends to put me into a corset and to tighten it step by step. When we met she sat on her throne and ordered me to stand before her. Then she first reached the NGW corset with the lightest lacing to me, and after she locked in on me, she selected what I was to wear. In the end she ordered me to wear elegance cuffs and she locked those as well. Overall it was a clear demonstration of control, her control, in particular when she said “Welcome home, Ehesklavin”.

June 23rd: Mistress Jenny back in full control

slave kelly came inworld for a short time, just when Mistress Jenny was done. We went down to the house to see her for a bit. Mistress is going to allow her to roam. For this purpose she left slave kelly’s keys out and admonished her to be cautious when she goes roaming. She also told her that it might take some time until we can rescue her in case she gets into trouble. So far, slave kelly is still restricted from travelling anywhere else.

June 23rd: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave kelly at home / Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita

We went back to our skybox and I had to spoil Mistress Jennny with my tongue before we both left again to tend to our RL’s. Mistress is back in full control. Wecome back home, Mistress Jenny.

My Saturday night was short as I got inworld quite late. Mistress Jenny, Angelique, slave Flo and I played a round of Skipee (I won it). After slave Flo had left, Mistress Jenny, Angelique and I chatted standing next to the game tables at home. Mistress brought up corsets again Angelique mentioned the corset from DHB, which is quite popular lately. It has chains wrapped around the waist when it is worn in the tightest position.

June 23rd: Mistress Jenny with Diomita and Angelique at our skybox

To make a longer story short, Mistress Jenny took Angelique and me to DHB and she bought this corset and the fitting boots for me. THen we went home to our skybox where I had to put it on and set it up while Mistress cuddled with Angelique on the sofa. Mistress Jenny liked it and as she wanted Angelique and me wearing a similar outfit, we got the corset and the fitting boots for her as well.

Simploring 2018 (54) San Monique

For my simploring tour on Thursday, June 21st, I selected San Monique. Inara Pey wrote an excellent report about San Monique in her blog “A touch of Live and Let Die in Second Life“, that tempted me to visit it myself.

San Monique is a fictional Caribbean island and besides New Orleans one of the major sites of the plot of the James Bond film “Live and let die” from 1973. In Second life Zakk Lusch and They Wray DoneAway (They Ellisson) created a sim with a touch of New Orleans and the Bayou region of Louisiana. At San Monique you’ll find a lot of elements and references to the Bond film, be it the restaurant “Fillet of Soul” or the skull and top hat on a grave that are a reference to Baron Samedi. You’ll find some crocodiles and airboats and many more little details that hint to the film.
For those not familiar with the film “Live and let die” or those who don’t remember it anymore in detail like myself, I recommend to read about the plot in wikipedia.

Impressions of San Monique – the old plantation

But San Monique is not just about the Bond film. It is a beautiful and picturesque island in an extraordinairy style, not Mediterrean but Bayou. The center with the houses built above the water with the wooden board walks looks like being from another time and has a morbid charme. You can walk over wooden pathways into the swamps and over to an old plantage villa. I liked in particular the long driveway with the alley leading to the villa, that reminded me of the driveway in the film “Gone with the wind”. The villa itself has become shabby and again adds to the morbide charme of San Monique.

Impressions of San Monique – around the center

Impressions of San Monique – around the chapel

Exploring San Monique you encounter several persons, like the fisherman in the center, two childs sitting on a bench next to the ruins of a fun park, a clown, a band playing in the restaurant “Fillet of Soul” or the two pallbearer at the archway leaging to the chapel. Often these persons greet you in main chat and they liven up the scenery.

Impressions of San Monique – Restaurant “Fillet of Soul” / two kids / in the swamps

various impressions of San Monique

I also took some pictures posing next to crocodiles or fishing and I enjoyed exploring the swamps totally riskless and safe. San Monique is really unique. Thank you Zakk and They for creating this gem and providing it to the public for us all to enjoy.
I’ll end this post with a quote from the notecard, that you can grab at the landing point and that is taken from the Bond film: In the infamous words of Baron Samedi, “It’s going to be a beautiful day!”

Diary 2018 (107) June 20th/21st Ladies Paradies

I met with Jenny in the afternoon, Wednesday, June 20th. slave kelly was inworld and together with gwenney and Leana (Leana Campese). We took them to Mesmerize Dungeon for about half an hour, then our time was already up again. While we were at Mesmerize Dungeon and not noticable for most Jenny exhanged my collar, replacing the partnering collar with my sub collar. Mistress Jenny took back control.

June 20th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Mesmerize Dungeon with slave kelly, gwenney and Leana Campese / Diomita at our Fetisch Club Chez Maurer and at club DeLust with slave kelly and gwenny

My night was quite uneventful. gwenney and slave kelly were at our Fetisch Club Chez Maurer and I took the opportunity to watch gwenney cleaning and licking Miss Conduct’s boots. There’s room for improvement *winks*. Later I took them both to club DeLust, where we spent most of the night. I had a chat with Angelique who told me about slave Flo’s and her time at Ladies Paradise. And that’s it already for Wednesday.

June 21st: Angelique and slave Flo at Ladies Paradise (left) / slave Flo at work (upper tight) ( Diomita at Ladies Paradise with Angelique, slave Flo and Yoshila (lower right)

“Neat waists make for neat minds” is written above the entrance gate to Ladies Paradise. The theme and everything else at Ladies Paradise takes place in an fictional 19th century. Proper attire and behavior are demanded, ladies in long dresses or skirts, men in frocks, waistcoats or other fitting clothing. Shiny latex is allowed nonetheless although is doesn’t fit to the 19th century.
The “school” at Ladies Paradise is a boarding school for young women, who where prepared for their future life as a good wife. In particular, etiquette and dressing rules are being taught, but there’re no classes, terms, grades, levels or exams. It is adult roleplay and SM but it’s not a prison and punishments are not intended to last 24/7.
Angelique and Flo had to wear corsets and Yoshila and the housekeeper Laursianne likes them being tight, just like our slave Flo *winks*. Of course the maids have to do the usual chores like cleaning, dusting, cooking, ironing and serving their superiors.

June 21st: Diomita taking Angelique and slave Flo home from Ladies Paradise

Thursday night, June 21st, I visited Ladies Paradise to have a look after Angelique and slave Flo and to take them back home. Our own house needs to be cleaned for the weekend. I had a nice chat with Yoshila, the founder and owner of Ladies Paradise, who understood my reasons for taking them home. Back at home both got their instructions for cleaing the next day, then we relaxed playing a round of Skipee.

Diary 2018 (106) June 18th/19th – slave kelly collared

27 Jun 2018 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Diary Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Jenny and I had a very relaxed and quiet Monday night, June 18th. Angelique and slave Flo were at Ladies Paradise and we chatted with them but didn’t see them. We look forward to hear more about their experience.
slave kelly was inworld, we had left her at Psi’s realm. We took her home and talked about her collaring. slave kelly wasn’t collared like our other subs and slaves, she was forced into submission. She changed being with us and her desire to submit and please us grew constantly. Jenny proposed that we’ll collar her providing an amythest collar as a sign of her submission. We made it very clear though, that slave kelly’s life might not change at all – for her own good and as it pleases us.

June 18th: Jenny and Diomita at home with slave kelly / at Heavy Bondage Club

Jenny and I went to Heavy Bondage Club after slave kelly left and we stayed there for about an hour, chatting and reading profiles and just relaxing. Jenny’s having fun lately to count Goddesses, Countesses and Princesses. This night was very sucessful as we saw 4 Goddesses within 1 hour.

Tuesday night, June 19th, began similar. While I waited for Jenny I chatted with slave Flo and she told me about her time at Ladies Paradise. She also sent a few pictures, it seems she’s having a good time.

June 19th: slave Flo at Ladies Paradise: Housekeeper Laursianne with maids, in the left Picture slave Flo is on the right

After Jenny came inworld and after we caught up with our mutual news we went to our house and met with gwenney, who waited there for us for quite a while already. She’s a shy girl. She had updated her RR Elegance cuff set and was wearing it. Jenny wanted to visit club DeLust hence gwenney needed to wear appropriate fetish clothes. I gave gwenney several ideas and links and when she had changed we went to club DeLust. Of course gwenney had to dance for us and the other guests.

June 19th: Diomita and Jenny at club DeLust with gwenney and slave kelly

slave kelly joined us there. Jenny and I bought a full body black latex catsuit with zippers for kelly and she was allowed wearing it at the club. After the many months of being kept naked, that already was a big change for her and slave kelly was very excited about it. But it was not the only present she got.
gwenney had left to RL in the meanwhile and Jenny and I went shopping with slave kelly and bought an amethyst collar for her. When we got home slave kelly once again confirmed her (free!) will to become (or more precisely to stay) our property and slave. We removed the open collar and fitted her new collar – and locked it. I think it does feel different for her. Her initial collaring was against her will, she fought a futile battle and we left no choice for her. This time she submitted herself. Not that we plan any real change of her life in enslavement, nonetheless it got another (and better) base.

June 19th: slave kelly’s collaring

And that’s it for this diary entry.

Simploring 2018 (53) Confinement by Mi

26 Jun 2018 Leave a comment

Tuesday, June 19th, I visited “Confinement“, a new exhibition by Mi (kissmi) at Daphne.Arts that opened just recently.
According to Mi, “the confinement is our lot – from the beginning, in the womb, and even before, as soon as the idea of our conception germinates in the minds of our parents, enclosing us”.
Created by Angelika Corral and Sheldon Bergman, who own Daphne.Arts and provide the space to other artists, the installation is divided in 4 sub sections: geographical, mental, physical and social confinements. Before you enter, you’re asked to attach a HUD. The HUD provides sound and text and is necessary for the experience. You will also be asked to set your viewer to advanced lighting and to shadows (moon and projectors) and to either accept the windlight or set your viewer to no light.

Confinement – an exhibition by Mi (1)

You enter a long and dark hallway and have to dare to keep walking forward. Then the scenery is lightened and you can see pictures at the walls to your left and right side. For each sub section (geographical, mental, physical and social confinements) there is a poem related to its theme and narrated by Mi. The narration is in French, the HUD provides a transcript in French and in English. The poems sound really nice in French, some alliterations of the poems can only be heard in French tough and don’t have the same effect in English.

Confinement – an exhibition by Mi (2)

The pictures and the poems build one unit, they fit together. The poems leave the visitor very thoughtfully. Each sub section has it’s own message. Geographicallyy it is the place you’re born, the many coincidences that lead to our own life, yes we’re equally born but not with equal chances. We have many confinements mentally, physcially and socially. Walking through the exhibition “Confinement” you walk through a whole life from birth to death, and life will go on.

Confinement – an exhibition by Mi (3)

At the end of the hallway you walk downstairs to experience a fifth section without a poem going with it – “Constrained Confinement is, in every way, an ultimate impasse”. The stairs leading down are illuminated by torches. You step down deeper and deeper until you reach a place lit by candles. At the end of the place is a statue with an open torso. It might symbolize a murder as one hand strangles the throat, it might symbolize another new life as another hand reaches out through the open torso holding a candle.
It is an impasse, so you have to either walk back or teleport out from there.

Confinement – an exhibition by Mi (4)

“Confinement” by Mi is a particular form of art, combining poems (narrated and readable), music, pictures and the visual experience of Second Life into one piece of tangible art. I understood that Angelika Corral and Sheldon Bergman were responsible to make that happen. Again an exhibition you won’t see anywhere else but in Second Life.

DaphneArts, opened in March 2016, is an art complex that features monthly exhibitions, with a strong focus on the grotesque, surreal and existential themes. It is owned by Sheldon Bergman (sheldonbr) and Angelika Corral. Thank you and Mi for this exhibition!
