The Sad Fish : Nitro Fireguard Passes (7th November)

This video features a work made by Nitro Fireguard titled "Don't let me go"

 

IMPORTANT : I've made this machinima as a tribute to a fellow artist who spoke to me through his work. I do not know Nitro personally and can only express my feelings of loss for the beautiful talent and unique voice I have come to love. This has an accompanying blog entry that elaborates on this. Please see opofish.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/the-sad-fish-nitro-firegua... if so inclined.

 

The following is a note from Dido that is being distributed to all who visit the Nitroglobus at this time

 

Saturday, 7 November at 2.10 pm Paris time my beloved Partner Nitro Fireguard passed away.Although I knew this was inevitable, it still was a shock. After all nobody wants to loose a loved one. The only redeeming thought is Nitro doesn't have to suffer these horrible pains anymore.

 

For those who don't know: after almost a year of fighting, the cancer won and Nitro had to give up.

 

Dear Nitro you will always be in my heart.I thank you for the four awesome years we shared in Second Life as partners, in which we had lots of fun and joy working together to make Nitroglobus the gallery it is nowadays. We both had our own part in this: you Nitro, the artist who 'fitted' the main hall of our gallery for each exhibition with matching new mesh sculptures. I the curator, marketeer and host at our opening parties. We almost always had the same taste which was soo cool to experience time after time.

 

We made many friends among the artists exhibiting in our main hall as well as the guests who visited the gallery and our Sunday Cafe. Yes, our Second Life together was filled with lots of love for each other, our gallery and for the arts in general.

We communicated every day: hours of intense conversations about many many topics here in Second Life but also during the day in WhatsApp. We even met in Real Life Paris two times. I am so glad we all met: you, me and both our RL partners.

 

I will miss you terribly sweetie because YOU are/were my Second Life.

Je t'aime mon cheri

Gros bisous and may you rest in peace

 

Dido

Joa sent me a song which expresses my present feelings very well:
