Interviewed by
Thomas Kirchner and Isabel Pfaff, Berne
Tommy Vercetti, 41, welcomes us in a colorful sweater in an attic room in the south-west of Bern. A perfectly tidy desk, a neatly arranged wall of books, but also gray foam boards on the ceiling: Vercetti, whose real name is Simon Küffer, is not only working on his doctorate here, in which he deals with the visual rhetoric of money, but also takes it also Musik up. The dialect rapper released his first solo album in 2010, and his third has just been released: “Sympathie für Hyäne”.
