Version française : Veuillez faire défiler vers le bas ⬇️ Deutsche Version: Bitte nach unten scrollen ⬇️ [EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity, Unfortunately, our IT specialists were not able to repair the disruption of the upload function before Christmas.

Die Pakate wurden in großen Stücken oder Streifen von den Plakatwänden gerissen und ausgestellt. Dabei ergab die Zufällig…
