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.

Kills germs without all the harshness
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I hate that every time I buy this sanitizer the price goes up, but I love that it is alcohol-free, fragrance free, and doesn't leave a sticky feeling on my hands after using it. My whole family has been using it since my almost 6 year old was a baby. We use it on a daily basis. It doesn't dry or irritate skin. I've even used it around her mouth/chin area when we weren't around water with no resulting irritation, and she has sensitive skin prone to irritation. And I don't feel nervous that the kids are going to put their hands in their mouths or do something stupid like drink it when I send it to school in my daughter's back pack, because the ingredients are so mild. This is my favorite sanitizer on the market!

I'm really disappointed ☹️
Scent: Mandarin, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I was excited to get this thinking it would be safe, foaming, smell good and be cleaning for my hands. Surprisingly it did not foam at all. I'm really disappointed. It's just liquid pouring out. I don't understand why. I even shook it up. 💁🏼‍♀️ Why would it be listed as foaming? Maybe I got a bad batch? Wonder if others have great success? Idk. 😔

Helped user with very dry skin
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
No babies here, but I figured that if it was safe for babies it would be ok for me-and it was cheap too. Surprisingly, while using this product, this Winter has been the best for my "seasonal, bleeding skin cracks" to my finger tips. I'm talking about the deep cracks that typically start at a fingernail corner and can take forever to heal. Typically I use 3-in-one antibiotic ointment, covered with bandaids, covered with protective first aid tape on at least one finger all Winter, and often need to resort to Superglue to keep some cracks closed-all with mixed results. A crack will heal over and crack open again whemn I stop protecting it with bandaids. This year I have had hardly any skin cracks on my hands. I I've used many different types of waterless hand cleaners, foaming soaps, and several different hand wash and hand sanitizers, (some alcohol based, others not) before this one, all in an effort to avoid using soap and water as much as possible for cleaning-which dries my skin out even more. I still occasionally use the the grit-type of citrus waterless hand cleaners for automotive grime-nothing else works for some of that. As far as I can tell, this particular hand sanitizer is the only thing that I've changed this Winter in terms of hand care. (I seldom use much in the way of moisturizer or "invisible glove" type products.) For reference, I have ALWAYS had extremely dry skin, and in addition to handling a lot of paper products over the years (formerly in the printing business) I now mainly work on a lot of medium and small repair projects, some where the need to wash my hands with strong cleaners and solvents to get various lubricants, paints, adhesives, rust and other residue off is a near-daily occurrence.
