The more I learn about myself, the more I fear myself. I’m told I should remain neutral. A Switzerland of the mind.
As Victoria University builds its new "hub," the underside of the scaffolding found all around the site is littered with this warning. Poetry is not quite the right word....

Sandro Botticelli
La Calunnia, 1495 ca
tempera on wood
Botticelli’s masterpiece “The Calumny of Apelles” was painted when the artist suffered a severe existential crisis which would change forever his style and the subjects of his works. Therefore, “The Calumny of Apelles” is a divide between the first and the second phases of Botticelli’s artistic production.
To create his painting Botticelli drew inspiration from an ancient lost painting by the great Greek painter Apelles (4th century BC), described by the Greek writer Lucian of Samostata. Lucian claims that the painting was inspired by an event happened to the artist himself, who was wrongly accused.
The works has to be read from right to left.
On the throne sits King Midas with donkey ears and in the guise of a judge, listening to the suggestions of “Ignorance” and “Suspicion” that are at his back.
In front of King Midas there’s “Rancour” (Envy), a hooded man in black grabbing “Calumny” (Slander) by the arm, who is a beautiful woman whose hair is being arranged by “Conspiracy” and “Fraud”.
It’s “Calumny” (Slander) to drag by the hair the accused man, while holding in the other hand a flaming torch, symbol of false knowledge.
In the scene there are also “Repentance” (the old lady on the left) and “Truth” looking at the sky while pointing with her finger upwards to Heaven, which is the only real justice.

Living in Transit: The Thinkers of a World in Turmoil
War looms over Europe, uncertainty seeps into everyday life, and the weight of history presses upon the present. The world is burning, and yet—there are those who seek understanding, those who bury themselves in the quiet refuge of books, the dim glow of libraries, the solitude of knowledge.
This series captures the introspective minds of young academic women—readers, thinkers, seekers. They wander through old university halls, their fingers tracing the spines of forgotten books, pulling out volumes of poetry, philosophy, and psychology. They drink coffee, they drink tea, they stay up late with ink-stained fingers, trying to decipher the world through words.
They turn to Simone Weil for moral clarity, Hannah Arendt for political insight, Rilke for existential wisdom. They read Baudrillard to untangle the illusions of modernity, Byung-Chul Han to understand society’s exhaustion, Camus to grasp the absurdity of it all. They devour Celan’s poetry, searching for beauty in catastrophe.
But they do not just read—they reflect, they question, they write. Their world is one of quiet resistance, an intellectual sanctuary amidst the chaos. In their solitude, they are not alone. Across time, across history, across the pages they turn, they are in conversation with those who, too, have sought meaning in troubled times.
This is a series about thought in transit—about seeking, reading, questioning, about the relentless pursuit of knowledge when the world feels on the brink.
Where the Thinkers Go
They gather where the dust has settled,
where books whisper in the hush of halls.
Pages thin as breath, torn at the edges,
cradling centuries of questions.
They drink coffee like it’s ink,
trace words like constellations,
follow Rilke into the dusk,
where solitude hums softly in the dark.
Outside, the world is fraying—
war threading through the seams of cities,
the weight of history pressing forward.
Inside, they turn pages, searching
for answers, for solace, for fire.
And somewhere between the lines,
between time-stained margins and fading ink,
they find the ghosts of others who
once sought, once wondered, once read—
and they do not feel alone.
Three Haikus
Night falls on paper,
books stacked like silent towers,
thoughts burn in the dark.
Tea cools in the cup,
a poem lingers on lips,
war rumbles beyond.
Footsteps in silence,
the scent of old ink and dust,
pages turn like ghosts.
ooOOOoo
The Intellectual Pursuit: What They Read in 2025
In a world teetering between war and uncertainty, young academic women turn to books—not as mere escape, but as a way to confront reality, to seek wisdom in the echoes of history, and to understand the weight of the present. They read in dimly lit libraries, at café tables littered with half-drunk cups of tea, in quiet university archives where dust clings to forgotten volumes. They are drawn to words that unravel complexity, books that demand contemplation, and authors who have wrestled with the same existential questions that haunt their minds today.
Here is what they read.
1. Existential and Philosophical Works
In times of crisis, philosophy becomes a mirror—reflecting both the weight of the world and the possibilities of thought. These books challenge, unsettle, and offer a way to navigate uncertainty.
Simone Weil – Gravity and Grace (moral clarity and reflections on human suffering)
Hannah Arendt – The Origins of Totalitarianism (a timeless study of power, ideology, and authoritarianism)
Byung-Chul Han – The Burnout Society (a philosophical take on modern exhaustion and performance-driven culture)
Jean Baudrillard – Simulacra and Simulation (a critique of reality and illusion in an age of digital manipulation)
Albert Camus – The Plague (a novel that mirrors today’s existential and ethical dilemmas)
Søren Kierkegaard – The Concept of Anxiety (an exploration of freedom, dread, and the human condition)
These thinkers guide them through uncertainty, offering both discomfort and clarity—challenging them to see beyond the immediate chaos.
2. Poetry and Literature of Longing, Loss, and Human Experience
Sometimes, only poetry and fiction can capture what analysis cannot—the deep, wordless truths of grief, love, exile, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit.
Anne Carson – Nox (a fragmented, deeply personal meditation on loss and memory)
Paul Celan – Todesfuge (haunting post-Holocaust poetry that lingers between beauty and horror)
Rainer Maria Rilke – Letters to a Young Poet (a lyrical guide to solitude, art, and self-discovery)
Ocean Vuong – On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous (poetry-infused storytelling on identity and survival)
Virginia Woolf – The Waves (a novel that reads like a long poem, exploring time, consciousness, and human connection)
Clarice Lispector – The Hour of the Star (a sparse, existential novel that lingers long after the last page)
These books are read slowly, lines underlined in pencil, phrases whispered to oneself in quiet moments.
3. Political Thought and Social Critique
Understanding the present requires looking at the past and tracing the patterns of history, power, and resistance.
Naomi Klein – Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World (on misinformation, conspiracy culture, and the fracturing of reality)
Timothy Snyder – On Tyranny (20 lessons from history on how democracy is lost—and how it can be protected)
Achille Mbembe – Necropolitics (on the politics of death, control, and who gets to exist in modern power structures)
Olga Tokarczuk – Flights (a novel that blurs fiction and philosophy, exploring movement, exile, and identity)
Rebecca Solnit – Hope in the Dark (on why history is shaped by those who refuse to give up)
These books are read with urgency—annotated, discussed, debated. They provide frameworks for understanding the unfolding crises of today.
4. Science, Psychology, and the Search for Meaning
In times of uncertainty, some turn to the mind and the universe—to trauma studies, quantum physics, and new ways of seeing.
Carlo Rovelli – The Order of Time (a poetic examination of time and its illusions)
James Bridle – New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the Future (on the unpredictability of AI, climate change, and human systems)
Bessel van der Kolk – The Body Keeps the Score (on trauma, memory, and how the body stores experiences)
Donna Haraway – Staying with the Trouble (rethinking human and non-human relationships in a time of ecological crisis)
These books stretch their understanding beyond politics and poetry—into the unseen forces that shape the self and the cosmos.

As COVID-19 recedes, Californians have new worries
Californians are undergoing a great reawakening.
After two years of having their lives dominated, and perhaps permanently altered, by COVID-19, they are putting the pandemic behind them and shifting their attention to other concerns old and new.
Predictably, the state’s political atmosphere is making the same transition.
While COVID-19 remains a threat — and could re-emerge as an existential concern — a new poll by UC-Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies finds it occupying a very low place on Californians’ list of issues demanding attention.
Only 4 percent of voters, the poll found, now consider COVID-19 an important issue — 13th on a list of 15. The list is dominated by housing affordability (31 percent), homelessness (29 percent), crime (23 percent) and gasoline prices (21 percent).
Housing and homelessness obviously predate the pandemic and have now returned as major concerns, while crime and gas prices are newcomers — or throwbacks, in an historic sense, to the late 1970s, when they dominated the state’s public consciousness and political discourse.
The shrinkage of COVID-19 is obvious not only in the Berkeley-IGS poll, but in the recent actions of the state’s politicians.
Only weeks ago, the Capitol was fiercely debating legislation about mandatory vaccinations, but the bills have now been put on hold.
Last October, Gov. Gavin Newsom trumpeted that California was the first state to announce plans to make vaccinations mandatory for public school students.
Last week, very quietly, the state postponed the mandate until the 2023-24 school year, citing a lag in the full federal approval of shots for younger students.
Newsom’s announcement was just a stunt, reflecting his penchant for wanting to be the nation’s first in everything. Without a postponement, there would have been chaos when classes resumed in September because so few children would have been vaccinated.
The emergence of crime and gas prices as major voter concerns in an election year is compelling politicians to respond. For instance, Newsom and legislators are negotiating some kind of direct payments to Californians to offset spikes in gas prices and other costs of living.
Crime is a trickier issue because for the last decade, California has been softening its treatment of offenders. However, Californians are increasingly worried about becoming crime victims as their worries about being pandemic victims recedes.
A sharp uptick in homicides, an epidemic of car burglaries and smash-and-grab robberies in San Francisco, organized “follow home” robberies in Los Angeles and a gang shootout in downtown Sacramento that left six persons dead are among the incidents that are fueling the increased fear.
Crime could have direct effects on this year’s elections. The district attorneys of San Francisco and Los Angeles face potential recalls because of their less punitive policies. Their kindred soul, Attorney General Rob Bonta, who was appointed by Newsom, could have a tough time winning a full term on his own.
One bellwether of Californians’ changing priorities will be who becomes the next mayor of Los Angeles. Congresswoman Karen Bass had seemed to be cruising to victory but a new Berkeley-IGS poll taken for the Los Angeles Times found that businessman Rick Caruso has zoomed into a virtual tie after spending millions of dollars on ads highlighting the crime issue.
“The poll asked voters to pick two issues that were key to how they will vote,” the Times reported. “Homelessness was by far the top issue, cited by 61% of likely voters. No candidate has established an advantage on that topic, the poll showed.
“By contrast, among the 38% of likely voters who said crime and public safety were top of mind, Caruso had a 4-1 lead over Bass.”

At-Home COVID-19 Tests Expire. Here's What to Know About Yours
If you stockpiled at-home COVID-19 tests during the great Omicron shortage, you may want to do a little research before using your diagnostics. Like food and medications, rapid COVID-19 tests expire—but figuring out when they go bad isn’t always as easy as glancing at the box.
Here’s what to know about the expiration dates on at-home COVID-19 tests.
When does my COVID-19 test expire?
The components of COVID-19 test kits can degrade over time, potentially affecting the diagnostic’s performance and accuracy, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Figuring out exactly how long a product lasts takes time, though. To know if a test performs well after two years, for example, the manufacturer would logically need at least two years of data. Since rapid COVID-19 tests are relatively new products, companies are collecting much of that data in real time—meaning their expiration dates can and do change.
The FDA sets expiration dates conservatively and then adjusts as needed. To start, at-home COVID-19 tests are typically authorized with expiration dates of four to six months after they’re made, the FDA says. But the agency can extend that window as new study results are available. That dynamic system means the date stamped on your test’s box may not be its current expiration date.
In January, the FDA extended the recommended shelf life of Abbott’s BinaxNOW test kits from 12 to 15 months, based on data from the company. CareStart tests distributed through the federal government’s free testing program can also be used for three months longer than their marked expiration dates, according to COVID.gov.
The California Department of Public Health went a step further in March, saying that, until further notice, consumers can use any at-home test beyond its expiration date as long as the “control” line shows up normally. (Your test kit should include guidance about the control line.) Officials from Washington State’s health department have also acknowledged that using technically expired but functional tests may be necessary in some cases.
To get the latest information about your tests, check the FDA’s website for updates about antigen tests and molecular tests. You may have to calculate the new expiration date yourself, using the lot number or date of manufacture stamped on the package.
Can I use a test even if it has expired?
If you’re used to ignoring food expiration dates, you may be inclined to do the same with COVID-19 tests. But—even though some people interpret the dates more liberally—the FDA says not to use expired kits. Dr. Ulysses Wu, system director of infectious diseases at Connecticut’s Hartford HealthCare, agrees it’s best to be cautious, because you may not get accurate results if you use an expired test. “You’re more likely to have false negatives rather than false positives, but that false negative could give a false sense of security when you actually are positive for COVID,” he says.
Since diagnostic expiration dates are a “moving target,” it’s possible that your test actually lasts longer than the box suggests. But, Wu says, “I would just follow [the latest] expiration date and if you really have a concern or you don’t want to throw it away, you can always call the company.”
How should I store my home COVID tests?
Time isn’t the only thing that can affect the quality of a COVID-19 test. Moisture and extreme temperatures can also impair its accuracy, Wu says. He recommends keeping medical supplies in a cool, dark place, like a kitchen cabinet, to keep them stable. Despite the name, your bathroom medicine cabinet is not a good place to store drugs and diagnostics because the room often gets hot and humid, Wu adds.
Extreme cold is also something to avoid. When the U.S. government first began distributing free at-home test kits this past winter, some people were concerned that the liquid reagents used in the diagnostic process might freeze during delivery. While the FDA says that’s not something to be too worried about, tests are meant to be used in environments kept between 59°F and 86°F. So if yours gets cold in transit, you should allow it to warm up (while in the unopened box) for a couple hours before swabbing.
And though it may be tempting after recent supply-chain issues, Wu discourages keeping a huge stockpile of tests on hand. It’s good to have a few around in case someone in your house is exposed to the virus or develops symptoms, but there’s no need to buy a lifetime supply at once, he says—both because they may expire before you can use them, and because it makes it harder for others to get the supplies they need.
"Why are we here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come." Samuel Beckett

Initially inspired by the works of Salvador Dali, I sought to create a similarly styled piece with broad blue skies and unending acres of land. The bright morning sky is accompanied by primary colored parachutes, resembling a childhood symbol of hope and wonder. Attached are bar codes, a representation of human souls, about to disembark on the barren land, our world. On land, there are two main events: life, and death. After death, anything from life is forgotten. Everything melts and sinks into the hollow ground. The soul recognizes this, and is forced to pursue a meaningless life of superficial, worldly indulgences.
SPOTLIGHT SESSION
The Mental Well-Being of the Next Generation: How We Can Support Young People’s Mental Health Amid Multiple Existential Threats
2:30 - 4:00 p.m. ET
Location: Mercury Ballroom
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an existing mental health crisis, particularly among children and young people. The emergence of “climate anxiety,” new and ongoing international conflicts, and widespread use of technology have added to the stressors impacting our youth across the globe. A study last year estimated that one in seven children and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa have experienced significant psychological challenges, and almost 10 percent qualify for a psychiatric diagnosis. Overdose rates among teens in the United States are on the rise. Youth are facing cultural and infrastructural challenges – from stigma in seeking help to barriers in accessing support – in finding the tools and treatment they need.
This session will explore:
•How can organizations take action to directly support the mental health of young people in their communities and around the world?
•How can we develop and implement effective models for delivering mental health care in schools, clinics, and community settings?
•How can we leverage technology – which has exacerbated much of the mental health crisis among today’s youth – to reduce stigma and give youth easier access to support and treatment?

THE STORY/ The „Twentythird Year„ is a coming of age performance of a young protagonist TRACY trying to make a very own picture of the world. The death of a friend in confrontation with the police and the search for black roots after an easy white childhood triggers new existential questions and problems.

Mahalia Taje Giotto
Switzerland/Italy (1992)
existential boner
The project existential boner is a piece about obsession. The obsession to become a person other than the one designated by a sex category at birth, the obsession to feel at one with your body, the obsession to find your place in society. Mahalia Giotto, aka Taje, was born in 1992 in a female body and went through several phases of physical transformation, writing on skin as a child to tattoos as a young adult and eating disorders during adolescence. Taje began his transition in 2020. This identity journey lies at the heart of this piece, in a game of superimposing images to express the incessant chaotic thoughts within.
Like the spray used to write, Taje’s artistic gesture is radical and spontaneous, and risk-taking becomes a strength. The artist explores his own sexuality and fluid identity while bringing visibility to the LGBTQIA+ community.

I focus on the people with strange or inferior personalities. People who are hiding or drifting away from the society in any way. At times we are so into people who accomplish great things in life that we totally forget the ones who are in a tug of war with existential crises. I put light on them also

A sign (of the times?) in an alleyway in Deland, Florida. Sartre said there was "No Exit" and Simon & Garfunkle told us that "the words of the prophets were written on the subway walls and tenement halls". Perhaps we just need a place to stop amid the rush. Florida, more than most places in the U.S. has been affected by the rush of modern times.
Trevelyan has an existential crisis.

THE STORY/ The „Twentythird Year„ is a coming of age performance of a young protagonist TRACY trying to make a very own picture of the world. The death of a friend in confrontation with the police and the search for black roots after an easy white childhood triggers new existential questions and problems. Historically the peace from 1988 is the 1st BLACK DRAMA intervention by the Afro German Diaspora struggling for its own public voice in Germany.

DIE GESCHICHTE/ DAS „DREIUNDZWANZIGSTE JAHR ist eine Coming of Age Inszenierung in der ein/e Protagonist_In namens TRACY versucht sich ein Bild von der Welt zu machen. Das Trauma eine Freundin in der Auseinandersetzung mit der Polizei verloren zu haben und die Suche nach den eigenen kulturellen Wurzeln führen nach einer unbeschwerten „weissen" Kindheit plötzlich zu neuen existentiellen Fragen und Problemen.
Er/ Sie TRACY versucht sich an Befreiung innerhalb einer rassistischen Sprach-Kultur, in der Rassengesetze die Existenz von Schwarzen Deutschen per Gesetzgebung zu verbieten suchten.
Hier enteignet sich nun mehr die Sprache selber. Sie de-konstruiert ihre eigenen Grundstrukturen in Frage stellend und zerfetzt den strukturellen Alttagsrassismus, um im Zusammenspiel mit Musik und Perfomance Identitätsdiskurse zwischen Schwarz und Weiss und Frau und Mann neu zu verhandeln.

Eine Identität innerhalb einer weissen postkolonialen Kultur, die die Verantwortung für den Genozid in Namibia ablehnt und sich gleichzeitig gegen Apartheid in Südafrika engagiert, oder sich gegen Rassismus in den USA empört. Denn Rassismus in Deutschland gibt es nicht.
Die Aufführung von 1988 ist eine der 1. Historischen Verhandlungen der Schwarzen Deutschen Diaspora (Afro Deutsche) im öffentlichen Raum und interveniert als performative Handlung die Grenze zwischen „privat" und „sozial" in der Kunstform des Strassentheaters. Afrika in Deutschland anhand von Schwarzen Deutschen Stoffen und Ästhetiken, die eine neue Perspektive suchen.

Welche Zukunft hat die Liebe unter solchen Bedingungen? Black gifted und Blue endet die Geschichte so auch mit dem Bewusstsein um das individuelle Scheitern angesichts die sozialen Dimension und Ausmaasse der Bedingungen. Die Wiedervereinigung sollte die latenten Rassismen einer nicht aufgearbeiteten kolonialen Vergangenheit, sowohl in Ost als auch in West Deutschland nach der Wiedervereinigung in Terror-Attacken gegen deutsche People of Colour zum Explodieren im Blutrausch bringen.

Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It’s an existential quality that we are losing. It’s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.
There is, of course, something inherently romantic—if not heroic—about the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.
'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.
Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-Élysées (“We were close to what they call the breath of danger”), Herzog emerges victorious.
― Of Walking in Ice: (Munich-Paris, 23 November–14 December 1974)
by Werner Herzog
Personally, I believe that human life is completely meaningless, just a biological exercise along with the lichen, beetles, cats, trees and what have you.
Within this void you need some sort of framework, some anchor and way of gauging what to do and what is important. Different people have different reasons to live; religion, family, friends, the pursuit of pleasure, money, power; a mix of things.
You’ll appreciate that a diagram of every motivation known to mankind would get pretty complicated, so I’ve just gone for five interlaced bands. As the idea developed into the form of a diagram, I thought it would be interesting if it had some sort of logical structure. I decided to cover all of the line combinations once and once only. This took ages to work out, first calculating the permutations, and then getting them all in the correct places. I thought about doing 6 lines, but the addition of another colour increased the complexity considerably.
