A full interview with the Israeli painter Raphael Perez (in Hebrew Rafi Peretz) about the ideas behind the naive painting, resume, personal biography and CV
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter?
Answer: I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in every city and town that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings on boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers.
Question: How do you give depth in your naive paintings?
Answer: To give depth to the painting, I build the painting with layers of vegetation, after those low famous buildings, followed by a tall avenue of trees, and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites.
A recurring motif in some of my paintings is the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene unfolding in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the state flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard.
Question: Raphael Perez What characterizes your naive painting?
Answer: Most naive paintings have the same characteristics
(Definition as it appears in Wikipedia)
• Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans.
• The representation of the painter's idealization to reality - the mapping of reality.
• Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details.
• Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details.
• Warm and bright colors.
• Sometimes the emphasis is on outlines.
• Most of the characters are flat, lack volume
• No interest in texture, expression, correct proportions
• No interest in anatomy.
• There is not much use of light and shadow, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.
I find these definitions to be valid for all my naive paintings
Question: Raphael Perez Why do you mainly choose the city of Tel Aviv?
Answer: I was born in Jerusalem, the capital city which I love very much and also paint,
I love the special Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv, the ornamental buildings that were built a century ago in the 1920s and 1930s, the beautiful boulevards, towers and modern skyscrapers give you the feeling of the hustle and bustle of a large metropolis and there are quite a few low and tall buildings that are architecturally fascinating in their form the special one
Also, the move to Tel Aviv, which is the capital of culture, freedom, and secularism, allowed me to live my life as I chose, to live in a relationship with a man, Jerusalem, which is a traditional city, it is more complicated to live a homosexual life, also, the art world takes place mainly in the city of Tel Aviv, and it is possible that from a professional point of view, this allows I can support myself better in Tel Aviv than in any other city in Israel.
Question: raphael perez are the paintings of the city of Tel Aviv different from the paintings of the city of Jerusalem
Answer: Most of the paintings of Jerusalem have an emphasis on the color yellow, gold, the color of the old city walls, the subjects I painted in Jerusalem are mainly a type of idealization of a peaceful life between Jews and Arabs and paintings that deal with the Jewish religious world, a number of paintings depict all shades of the currents of Judaism of today
In contrast, the Tel Aviv paintings are more colorful, with skyscrapers, the sea, balloons and more secular motifs
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about which buildings and their architects you usually choose in your city paintings
Answer: My favorite buildings are those that have a special shape that anyone can recognize and are the symbols of the city and you will give several examples:
In the city of Tel Aviv, my favorite buildings are: the opera building with its unusual geometric shape, the Yisrotel tower with its special head, the Hail Bo Shalom tower that for years was the symbol of the tallest building in Tel Aviv, the Levin house that looks like a Japanese pagoda, the burgundy-colored Nordeau hotel with the special dome at the end of the building, A pair of Alon towers with the special structure of the sea, Bauhaus buildings typical of Tel Aviv with the special balconies and the special staircase, the Yaakov Agam fountain in Dizengoff square appears in a large part of the paintings, many towers that are in the stock exchange complex, the Aviv towers and other tall buildings on Ayalon, in some of the paintings I took plans An outline of future buildings that need to be built in the city and I drew them even before they were built in reality,
In the paintings of Jerusalem, I mainly chose the area of the Old City and East Jerusalem, a painting of the walls of the Old City, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the El Akchea Mosque, the Tower of David, most of the famous churches in the city, the right hand of Moses, in most of the paintings the Jew is wearing a blue shirt with a red male cord I was in the youth movement and the Arab with a galabia, and in the paintings of the religious public then, Jews with black suits and white shirts, tallitas, kippahs, special hats, synagogues and more
I also created three paintings of the city of Haifa and one painting of Safed
In the Haifa paintings I drew the university, the Technion, the famous Egged Tower, the Sail Tower, well-known hotels, of course the Baha'i Gardens and the Baha'i Temple, Haifa Port and the boats and other famous buildings in the city
Question: Have you created series of other cities from around the world?
Answer: I created series of New York City with all the iconic and famous buildings such as: the Guggenheim Museum, the famous skyscrapers - the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, Lincoln Center, the famous synagogue in the city, the Statue of Liberty, the flags of the United States and other famous buildings
Two paintings of London and all its famous sites, Big Ben, famous monuments, the Ferris wheel, Queen Elizabeth and her family, the double bus, the famous public telephone, palaces, famous churches, well-known monuments
I created 4 naive paintings of cities in China, a painting of Shanghai, two paintings of the city of Suzhou and a painting of the World Park in the city of Beijing... I chose the famous skyline of Shanghai with all the famous towers, the famous promenade, temples and old buildings, two Paintings of the city of Suzhou with the famous canals, bridges, special gardens, towers and skyscrapers of the city

la construction des Autoroutes en France - Les liaisons moins dangereuses 1972 www.dailymotion.com/video/xxi0ae?playlist=x34ije - Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondes
Sur les routes de France les ponts renaissent 1945 reconstruction de la France après la Seconde Guerre mondiale www.dailymotion.com/video/xuxrii?playlist=x34ije , Quelques mois après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un triste constat s'impose : 5 944 passages sont coupés, soit plus de 110 km de brèches ; de nombreuses villes se trouvent isolées.Les chantiers s'activent dans toute la France pour "gagner la bataille des communications routières". Mais outre la pénurie de main d’œuvre, il faut faire face au manque de matériaux (béton, métal) et donc déployer des trésors d'imagination pour reconstruire les ponts détruits. Si le savoir faire des tailleurs de pierre est exploité, le plus spectaculaire est le relevage des ponts, comme le pont de Galliéni à Lyon, où 7 à 800 tonnes d'acier sont sorti de l'eau avec des moyens de l'époque. En avril 1945, il reste 5 700 ponts à reconstruire soit 200 000 tonnes d'acier, 600 000 tonnes de ciment, 250 000 m3 de bois, 10 millions de journées d'ouvrier, prix de l'effort de reconstruction.1945

www.dailymotion.com/video/xw6lak?playlist=x34ije - Rue neuve 1956 la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, villes, villages, grands ensembles réalisation : Jack Pinoteau , Panorama de la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, ce film de commande évoque les villes et villages français détruits puis reconstruits dans un style respectant la tradition : Saint-Malo, Gien, Thionville, Ammerschwihr, etc. ainsi que la reconstruction en rupture avec l'architecture traditionnelle à Châtenay-Malabry, Arles, Saint Étienne, Évreux, Chambéry, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Abbeville, Le Havre, Marseille, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Dunkerque. Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ». Dans un deuxième temps est abordé le chapitre de la construction des cités et des grands ensembles, de l’architecture du renouveau qualifiée de "grandiose incontestablement". S’il est précisé "on peut aimer ou de ne pas aimer ce style", l’emporte au final l’argument suivant : les grands ensembles, c'est la campagne à la ville, un urbanisme plus aéré, plus vert." les films caravelles 1956, Réalisateur : Jack Pinoteau (connu pour être le metteur en scène du film Le Triporteur 1957 qui fit découvrir Darry Cowl) www.dailymotion.com/video/xuz3o8?playlist=x34ije , Film d'archive actualités de 1952 Reconstruction de la France sept ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale état des lieux de la crise du logement , Actualités de 1952.

Joshua Kucera the American freelance journalist in an article published on Aljazeera titled ‘Azerbaijan jockeys for new geopolitical weight’ questions ‘What do the US and Israel have to gain by strengthening Azerbaijan's naval capacities in the Caspian sea?’ Kucera states “As the prospect of an Israeli attack on Iran has loomed over the past several months, a great deal of attention has been paid to Israel's close ties with Iran's northern neighbour, Azerbaijan. And while those ties are indeed close, the two countries nonetheless have very different concerns vis-a-vis Iran - ones that make them unlikely to cooperate on any potential Israeli strike against Tehran. The most visible part of Azerbaijani-Israeli cooperation is in the weapons business. Azerbaijan and Israel announced a massive arms deal, worth US $1.6bn, earlier this year, fuelling speculation that Israel was using Azerbaijan as a proxy against Iran. ...But while Israel's concern about Iran is Tehran's nuclear programme and the fear that Iranian nuclear weapons could be used against them, Azerbaijan has displayed a less alarmist view of Iran's nuclear intentions. …However, Azerbaijan does have significant strategic concerns about Iran as well, and tensions between the two countries have the potential for creating a new flashpoint in the region - albeit one unrelated to Israel.” Inspired by Aljazeera ow.ly/bWb4D image source ufollow ow.ly/bWbfj

~"Do You Know Why I Chose You Story?" The Man Asked As He Stood In Front Of Her.
Story Said Nothing As She Stayed Tied Tightly To The Metal Chair. She Kept Looking At Her Feet Trying To Figure Out A Way Out, A Way Free. She Could Hear The Sound Of Cars, But Where Were They? Near A Highway? In A Little Shack Maybe? The Room Of A Store? Where Ever She Was She Knew She Had To Get Out, Get Out And Find Her Sister. The Man Slowly Walked Around Story, Not Taking His Eyes Off Her.
"I Chose You Because Of The Fact You Are Different. Different In ways You Could Never Imagine. If You Would Just Give In, Let Me Help You. Together We Could Take What We Deserve. Get Treated How We Deserve." The Man Then Stopped Right Behind Her, Leaning In To The Point He Was Right By Her Face.
"The World Could Be Ours Story. No One Would Treat You Different. They Would Treat You Like A Queen. Don't You Want That?" Story Took A Second To Think Before Realizing, It Was What She Wanted But At What Cost?
"I Bet There Are A Lot Of People You Would Love To See Begging For Mercy. On There Knees Willing To Give You Anything You Wanted. Money, Clothes, Maybe Even Love." That Word. Love. Had A Strange Affect On Her, Made Her Feel As If She Was Floating On A Cloud. It Could Just Be The Fear Mixing With Panic? Either Way Love Was A Word She Didn't Quite Understand. The Man Was Now In Front Of Her.
"What Do You Want Story?" The Man Asked Story Thought For A Minute. What Did She Want? Freedom Was One But She Knew He Wouldn't Let Her Go. Her Life Back To The Way It Was? You Could Never Go Back In Time. What Happens Is What Is Stuck Forever No Changing It Once It Is Done. Maybe Is Was Food. She Hadn't Eaten Since This Whole Thing Started. The Thought Of Food Made Her Mouth Water. But What Was She Thinking. This Wasn't The Time To Think Of Food, She Was Moments Away From Either Death Or Freedom. She Then Knew What She Wanted. Without A Second Thought She Lifted Her Head Up. Looked The Man Right In The Eyes. And With Tears Forming Said "A New Dad"~
The Sound Of Music Blasted Threw Story's Headphones As She Turned Her Ipod Volume Up. She Looked Out The Window At The Passing Trees As The Car Sped By Them. The Sun Was High In The Sky Meaning It Must Be Around Noon. Story Missed Her Friends Already Even Though They Just Started Driving Away From Her Old Home. Why Did They Have To Move? Why Was It Every Time Mom Got A Letter They Were Packing Before You Could Even Think? Questions That She Knew Would Never Be Answered.
"Story! Turn That Down!" Toni Yelled As She Yanked The Head Phones Out Of Story's Ears. Story Then Slapped Her Hand Away.
"Don't Do That!" She Yelled Back. Toni Was Her Older Sister, Only By A Year Though. She Always Wanted To Act The Boss, When It Was Clear She Wasn't.
"Kids Knock It Off!" Her Mom Yelled As She Turned On The Blinker To Turn. Unlike Toni Her Mom Knew Shes Was The Boss, And Made Sure They Did Too.
"Then Tell Her To Turn The Crappy Music Down." Toni Said Bluntly.
Storys Mother Looked At Her Threw The Rear View Mirror.
"Hunny, Please Turn It Down" She Said Sweetly. Story Smiles And Did As She Was Told, Toni Just Rolled Her Eyes And Looked Out The Window. Story Never Knew Why Her Sister Was Always Mean To Her, Its Like They Were Enemy's Instead Of Sisters. Story Must Have Fallen Asleep Cause Next Thing She Knew Her Mom was Shaking Her Awake.
"Story, We Are Here." Story Sat Straight And Stretched. Toni Was Already Inside The House. Story Unbuckled And Steps Out The Car, Taking In A Big Breath Of...Perfume? Out Of Confusion Story Ended Up Tripping And Falling To The Ground. She Could hear Toni Laughing As She Quickly Got Up To See A Young Boy Around Her Age Staring At Her. Story Could Feel her Face Getting Hot, Witch Meant Her Cheeks Were Soon To Be Red. She Quickly Turned And Ran Past Her Laughing Sister. As She Ran Into The House She Noticed Someone Already Lived Her. A Women around Her Moms Age By The Way She Looked In the Picture On The Fireplace. She Was Standing Next To 2 Little Girls. Or That Could Be The Mom And Who Ever Lives Here Is One Of The Girls? Either Way, Someone Lived Here.
"That Me with My Sister And Mom" A Voice Said From Behind. Story Quickly Turned To See A Women In A Suit Standing Over Her. Her Complexion Stated She Was Around 25. Her Hair Was Well Colored In Auburn With A Black Tone. Her Eyes Were A Darkish Green. And Her Lips Were Shinny With What Must Be Lip Gloss. She Was Tall And Curvy, Like An Hour Glass. Her Suit Had A Tag. 'E. Miller'. That Must Be Her Name Story Thought. Or The Name Of Who Ever She Works For.
"This Is Your House?" Story Asked Taking A Quick Look Around.
"Well, It Is My Moms, But She Is In The Hospital. So I Decided To Stay And Take Care of The Place While She Is Away." Hospital? Story Thought, Then She Realized The Womens Mother Must Be Around 80 Or 90. Not Being Able To Live On Her Own, Or At Least Not Live Alone Healthy.
"Oh...I'm Sorry. Must Be Hard." The Women Looked At The Picture Before Walking To It And Picking It Up.
"Sometimes...It Is Not Like It Was When I Was Younger. Being A Kid...Not Having To Worry About Anything But Playing With Friends." Story Watched As She Then Kissed The Photo And Put It Back Straightly On The Fireplace. By The Way She Was Acting, Her Mother Must Be In Bad Shape. It Made Story Think About Her Mom. Would She Soon Have To Take Care Of The House While She Was Sick In The Hospital? She Was Only 35, So That Must Be A Long Ways Away. Then Again, These Days Perfectly Young And Healthy Women Are Ending Up In The Hospital. So Was It Possible For Her Mom To Also Be In The Hospital? Story Shook The Thoughts Away As The Women Walked Back To Her.
"I'm Bonie" She Said As She Held Out Her Hand. Story Took It And Followed Her Lead Into A Hand Shake.
"I'm Story. Pleasure To Meet You Bonie." Bonie Smiled Sweetly And Looked Twords The Front Door.
"She Must Be Your Big Sister Huh?" Story Turned To See Toni Texting And Leaning Against The Front Door Frame.
"She Reminds Me Of My Older Sister..."
"In What Way?" Story Couldn't Stop Herself From Asking.
"Beauty And Attitude." Storys Mom Walked In With Her Purse In Her Hands. She Walked Over To Us And Smiled.
"I See You Met Bonie Story." Bonie Smiled And Put Her Arm Around Story As If They Knew Each Other Very Well.
"Yes And We Are Becoming Great Friends." Story Smiled To Hide The Fact She Was A Little Creeped Out By Bonies Sudden Arm Around Her Shoulder. Toni Must Have Went To Look Around Cause She Was No Longer At The Door. Story Wished She Could be Her Sister Right Now, Not Having To Stand Here And Pretend To Not Feel Creeped. Matter Of fact, Why Was It Story Was Always Stuck In The Weird Situations? She Tried Not To Get Stuck But Everywhere She Turned There Was Something To Greet Her. Maybe It Was The Same With Toni.
"Good. Story Find Toni. Then Meet Us In The Living Room" Mom Stated As she Walks Into The Living Room, Bonie Followed. Story Walked To The Door Before Stopping Quickly. Meet Us...Why Would Mom Say Us. Story Thought For A second Before Looking Back At The Photo. Could...Bonie Be...Her Moms Sister? Or Maybe An Old Friend? She Had To Be Something For Them To End Up Here. Toni Pushes Past Story Nearly Knocking Her Off Balance.
"Where Is Mom?" She Asked Smiling At The Thought Of Story Falling Again.
"She Wants Us To Meet Her In The Living Room"
"Why?"
"How Should I Know?" Toni Made A Face At Story Then Headed To The Living Room. Story Watched Her Disappear Before Following. That's When She Saw Something She Never Expected. She Stood By Toni Just As Shocked As She Was. Story Knew Something Was Weird About This Arrangement And Why Her Mom Said "Us". It Wasn't That She Was Her Sister...Or Friend....She Was...Her Lover.
A Few Moments Later Her Mother And Bonies Lips Parted And They Were Both Looking At Them. How Could This Be? Her Mom Liked Guys...She Had To Cause Of Th fact She Only Dated Men Back Home. Yet Here She Is...Locking Lips With A Women They Never Met Before. Or...Did They?
"Girls. I Bet This Is Confusing For You Both. Im Sure In Time You Will Understand." Toni And Story Were Sitting Now, Still As Shocked As They Could Ever Be.
"I Hope This Doesn't Mean We Cant Be Friends. I Would Like To Get To Know You Girls More." Bonie Stated. Toni Didn't Seem To Like The Situation Cause She Ended Up Storming Out With Her Mother Chasing After Her. Story Stayed Sitting Staring At The Women She Thought Was Maybe Her Aunt. Or A Family Friend, But No, She Was More Then A Friend. Did This Mean Maybe All Those Letters Were From Bonie Asking Her To Come Live With Her? If So Why Did It Take 6 Towns And 3 Years To Finally Come. Story Had A Lot Of Questions But Didn't Know When The Right Time Would Be To Ask Them.
"Story. I Hope We Can Be Friends" Bonie Said As She Was Suddenly Beside Her. Story Looked At Her For A Second Before Standing Up And Walking Out The Room. She Felt Bad, But she Couldn't Stop Herself. Her Body had A Mind Of Its Own And Didn't Allow Her To Reject. She Went Upstairs And Looked In The Room That Was To Be Hers. The Walls Were Painted Pink With Little Butterflies Splattered All Over It. It Had 2 Windows One Showed The front With All The Houses And Cars. The Other One Was Of A Little Side Yard.
She Could See The Neibor Planting Some Flowers In her Side Yard. She Looked Up And Stared At Story Before Quickly Getting Up And Almost Running Inside. That Was A Weird Way To React. Maybe She Was Shy, Or Thought Story Was A Stalker Taking Pictures Of Old Women For Some Gross Fetish Site. Story Would Never Do That, But The Women Didn't Know That. Toni Grabbed Story By Her Arm And Turned Her To Face Her.
"Can you Believe This?!" Story Yanked Her Arm Away And Walks Out The Room Leaving Toni Confused And Aggravated. Story Headed Downstairs To See Bonie Going Through One Of Her Boxes. She Slowly Reached The Bottom And Watches Bonie For a Few Minutes. She Looked As If She Was Looking For Something. What Could She Want From Her Stuff? Bonie Pulled Out A Picture Of Story And Her Mom. She Stared At It For A Few Minutes Before Seeing Story And Quickly Putting It Behind Her Back Standing Up. Before She Could Say A Word Toni Walked Down The Stairs And Pushed Past Story Causing Her To Stumble. A Few Hours Went By And Everything Seemed To Be Slow To Story. It Felt Like The Hours Were Only Seconds. Toni Never Said A Word Or Even Looked At Mom. Bonie Couldn't Keep Her Hands Off Her When Ever They Weren't Making Out They Were Cuddling. Story Sat And Fixed Up Her Room To Her Liking. Hanging Up Posters And Pictures Of Her Friends From All The Towns She Has Been In. Even A Picture Of Her First Boyfriend. His Name Was Evan Sanders. He Was a Soccer Player And Enjoyed Writing As Well. He Was Tall And Thin Witch Made Him Good At Soccer And being Able To Run Though A Crowed Of Kids Trying To Steal The Ball. He Had Blonde Hair And Tan Skinned Due To The Fact He Was Full Mexican. He Always Wore Name Brand Shirts Such As Hollister And H&M. He Was The First Boy To Ever Actually Want To Be More Then Friends, But Not Want To End Up In The Bed With Her That Night. It Was Hard For her To Let Him Go, And Even Harder To Think Of Him Happy With Another Girl. After She Finished Remembering The Past She Fell Onto Her Bed And Let Her Face Fall Into her Comfy Pillow. It had Been A Long Day And She Was Ready To Sleep. Ready To Dose Off And...
"Knock Knock...May I Come In?" Bonie Asked As She Opend The Door. Story Sat Up And Smiled Slightly. Bonie Walked Over And Sat at The End Of The Bed.
"You Doing Ok? I Mean...Now That You Know Me and Your Mom Are...Together." Story Hadn't Really Given It Much Thought. Should She Be Ok? Or Was It Ok To Be Like Toni And Treat Mom As If She Doesn't Exist.
"I Really Want To Be Friends...I Want You To Be Able To Trust Me. Like I Trust You." What Bonie Did Net Sent Chills Down Storys Spin. Bonie Leaned In And Kisses Story On The Cheek. A Women She just Met Hours Ago...Kissed Her On the Cheek. How Was She Supposed To React? Smile And Kiss Her Back? Run Out The Room Crying? Instead She Smiled And Noded. Bonie Smiled Back And Walked Over To Storys Pictures. She Studied Them As If She Was In An Art Gallery. Story Noticed Something Sticking Out Of Her Pocket, Without Thinking She Sneaked Over And Snatched It. Bonie Turned To See Story Standing There As If Nothing Happened. She Smiled Then Left The Room Shutting The Door behind her. Story Took A Deep Breath Then Sat Back On The Bed. She Looked At The Paper In her Hand And Realized It Was A Picture. She Turned It Over And What She Was Shocked Her. It Was The Picture Of Her And Her Mom...Only...It Wasn't Her...But Bonies Face Stuck Onto Her Body.
And With It, The Words That Will Haunt Storys Memorys Forever. Goodbye Story.
OK, my lovely flower friends, this is a rubbish shot, but can anyone tell me what it is? And is it a 'flower' or a weed?
Is the sky questioning or exclaiming? I am not sure. I think I have read that there were other punctuation marks many years ago, this may have been one of them.
A big question mark made by stacking various jigsaw puzzle pieces and then making them take that specific shape. The pieces are scrambled and on both sides against a white background.

Markus Oberndorfer’s multimedia-project REVISITED started in 2015 with a desire to question the medial parameters of 360 degree video. The artist draws attention to the fundamental shifts that took place between 360 degree video and the two main media of our time — photography and film.
