SHE WRITES TO ME ABOUT the experience of being in several places when she is walking through a city. The physical space, but also the overlapping spaces of dreams, memories, and desires. She observes that the possibilities of any city are infinite, often frightening in the variety of combinations they present.
SHE SENDS ME A PHOTOGRAPH ON THE THRESHOLD OF HERSELF , about to become someone else, someone other. Do all the borders crossed cancel us out, reducing us to zero?
Do you wanna start a cult with me? I'm not vibrating like I ought to be. I need a purpose, I can't keep surfing. Through this existential misery.

"I'm longing for something, I don't know what
Can't figure out what it is
Just like a hunger for what it's not
A scratch that you just can't itch
And it's so good
And it's so no no no
It's so oh
And it's so no no no
Well my life is easy, your life is good
There's really nothing I need
There's something just almost within my grasp
It stays just beyond my reach
And it's so right
And it's so no no no
It's so right
Yeah it's so no no no
Why does it taunt me the way it does
And bring out the ache in me
It just seems to haunt me in abstraction
Elusive as it might be
And it's so right
Yeah it's so no no no
It's so right
Yeah it's so no no no..."

The more I learn about myself, the more I fear myself. I’m told I should remain neutral. A Switzerland of the mind.
NOT ONE. TWO.

Photography’s new conscience
Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are getting Existential - Picturing the questions. There are times when I wonder about the meaning of golf: is there a good reason for it? Is it a good use of time? Is there any point at all? But then I get a couple of pars in a row (and almost a hat trick) and it all seems worthwhile after all.
A black-and-white view of a decaying building in Rijeka, where a vertical mural of primate faces stares out from a crumbling wall. The expressive artwork contrasts with broken staircases and exposed stone, evoking themes of memory, collapse and continuity. A satellite dish stands awkwardly in front, adding a modern echo to the ruin. A moment of urban archaeology and existential commentary.
treated myself to a Panasonic LX100 last year thinking it would serve as a "pocket" camera. Never really got on with it. Well enough constructed but I find it a bit fiddly to use.
Just getting round to clearing out the memory card now after 6 months of sitting jacket pockets, this one was shot in the seasonal German market in Edinburgh. Not as sharp as it might be but the best of a fairly mediocre bunch.
Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder
How they could belong to me
And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down
To a place where it longs to be
"Your" Body & "The End" by the Chinese artist Xiang Jing.
Xiang Jing is a profoundly introspective and innovative Chinese sculptor whose work explores the complexities of human nature, identity and existential truth.
Rather than aligning with a strictly feminist stance, she approaches her art from a woman's perspective, using the female form as both subject and statement. Her sculptures, though realistic in appearance, carry a deep emotional and psychological weight, challenging conventions of beauty, self-awareness and gendered experience.
Her artistic process is meticulous and deeply personal. Working primarily with fiberglass, Xiang Jing layers hand-painted details onto each piece, ensuring every sculpture possesses an individual presence and emotional depth. Her practice is problem-oriented, engaging with themes such as the relationship between observer and observed, internal desire and the shifting boundaries between realism and abstraction. She is a fiercely independent thinker, constantly pushing the limits of contemporary sculpture while maintaining an introspective approach.
Xiang Jing's work often reflects her own life experiences, forming a first-person narrative of self-exploration. "Your Body" part of her Keep in Silence series, marks a critical shift in her artistic journey, moving away from the Mirror Image series and solidifying her distinctive voice. The work encapsulates her drive
to express vulnerability, desire and transformation.

Liminality (from the Latin meaning "a threshold") is a psychological, neurological, or metaphysical subjective state, conscious or unconscious, of being on the "threshold" of or between two different existential planes, as defined in neurological psychology (a "liminal state").
I think we can all identify with that.... ;-)
As part of coordinated protest action by tens of thousands of people worldwide, demonstrators took to the streets to demand urgent action to tackle the existential threat of catastrophic climate change. In London, several hundred protesters, many of them students, met in Parliament Square before marching to the Home Office. All part of the Fridays for Future campaign.
Here, a protester carries a placard - "You cannot eat money but you can eat the rich," underlining the extent to which the wealthy, and particularly the top 1%, are not only responsible for most of the emissions but are also consuming and wasting land intensive food products particularly from animal agriculture. At the same time, concentrated corporate power lobbies governments to resist demands for richer nations to subsidize poorer countries to enable them to transform to more sustainable development paths. Higher taxation levels on the rich could help to lower emissions and provide essential support to the victims of climate change.
"You can eat the rich" is a slogan, originally attributed to the Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, but now widely used by those opposed to growing income inequality as it has become increasingly extreme in the fifty years since the 1970s, due in part to increased corporate power over government.

Within human experience, time and space are inextricably entangled.
Together they form the basis of our everyday life, and moreover, link
it to the very beginning of life and thus existence itself, that is to the
origin of the evolution of the universe from a singularity, the big
bang. It is this interdependence of the two concepts and their initial
genesis that I focus on in my artistic practice.
The expansive installation Perception of the Stendhal Syndrome rep-
resents my conception to approach existential questions through the
means of aesthetic experience. By means of developing a specific set
of techniques, I aim to overcome the limits of the medium of painting
and to expand it by the category of time.
With this work, I hope to engage the visitor on all levels,
instantaneously: Perception of the Stendhal Syndrome comprises one
of my large-scale white-on-black paintings from the series
Gene&Ethics – Master Prism (1,80 x 2,80 m) and a custom-made,
sculptural magnifying glass, measuring 1,58 m in height, which is
hung from the ceiling at distance to the canvas. Each visitor will
perceive a completely unique series of images when approaching the
work, as every slightest move generates an entirely new impression.
The installation thus aims to provide an experience of my work that
simultaneously allows for a macro perspective and micro perspective
of the painting, thereby revealing my different painting techniques,
which are the result of a long-term synthesizing process of
conceptual practices and technical-chemical explorations.
I have been experimenting with the constitutive elements of painting,
that is the quality of the paint, its support, as well as a range of
unconventional painting techniques, to attain this effect. Through the
interplay between the medium, the timing and my body, physically
moving around a canvas on the floor, I seek to derive a specific fluid
and organic quality in my paintings.
The literally puzzling and elusive nature of the experience of
approaching Gene&Ethics – Master Prism while looking through a
magnifying glass, lies at the center of my interest: each beholder is
forced to reverberate his/her own position in regard to the work and
within the actual space, instinctively. At the beginning of every
philosophical reflection stands the question of the point of view. With
this installation, I would like to take an explicit stance towards this
issue, as it is each individual human being that stands at the center
of the art: My work only exists when being experienced!
However, it not only deals with perception, on the contrary, with the
strategy of providing sensual experiences, I seek to sharpen the
senses for societal and environmental issues. I have drawn inspiration
from sculptors, such as Anish Kapoor and Tony Cragg, but also the
architect Frank Gehry, who are all known for providing unique spatial
experiences that trigger reflections about one’s existence.
The installation thus literally reaches out, in order to encompass the
viewer on a bodily, psychological and self-reflexive level. By way of
providing this engaging experience, I try to raise the viewers’
awareness of space-time, opening up the possibility to relate this
perception to the ‘bigger picture’ of our existence.
