Bas Jan Ader was so sad and funny at once. He seems to have been all about the deadly seriousness of the "superficial" gesture--especially if that gesture was existential slapstick. His spirit seems to float somewhere between Andy Kauffman's and Samuel Beckett's.

Thank you Existentialism.

Existence preceeds essence.
Once we realise there's no a priori rules to follow, and that our existence is ours to define we can choose freely, but the responsability for those choices is ours.
Jesmond Old Cemetery. “A Biography Of Shildon's: Sidney Chaplin
Sidney Chaplin was born in Shildon on the 20th of September 1916 and died on the 11th of January 1986. He was a writer whose works novels, television screenplays poetry and short stories, are mostly set in the north east of England, in the 1940's and 1950's.
Sidney Chaplin was born into a Durham mining family and worked in the collieries as a teenager. Between 1941 and 1953, he resided at Ferryhill, County Durham and worked as a miner at Dean and Chapter Colliery at Dean Bank. In 1946, he won the Atlantic Award for Literature for his collection of short stories, The Leaping Lad. After another stint as a miner, Chaplin began writing full time for the National Coal Board magazine, Coal, from 1950. He later wrote for The Guardian, including theatre reviews, essays of social observation and, from 1963, his own column Northern Accent.
Chaplin's literary career pre-dated the so called angry young men genre and has been credited as an influence on the late 1950's early 1960's kitchen sink social realism of writers such as Alan Sillitoe and Stan Barstow. His novels The Day of the Sardine 1961 and The Watchers and the Watched 1962 have been cited as classics of"working class existentialism and were republished most recently by Flambard Press in 2004.
In 1968, playwright Alan Plater based his play and musical production Close The Coalhouse Door on Chaplin's early writings, set to songs by Alex Glasgow. The musical was revived in 2012. In 1976, Chaplin contributed to the writing of the television series When The Boat Comes In. The following year he was awarded an OBE for services to the arts in the North East.
Chaplin died in 1986. A posthumous anthology In Blackberry Time was published the following year. In 1997, the Chaplin family deposited the bulk of Sid Chaplin's papers at Newcastle University's Robinson Library, Special Collections.” Chris Jamieson on Facebook
"Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre (21 June 1905 – 15 April 1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, political activist, biographer, and literary critic. He was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism and phenomenology, and one of the leading figures in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism.
"His work has also influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies, and continues to influence these disciplines.
"Sartre was also noted for his open relationship with prominent feminist and fellow existentialist philosopher and writer Simone de Beauvoir. Together, Sartre and de Beauvoir challenged the cultural and social assumptions and expectations of their upbringings, which they considered bourgeois, in both lifestyle and thought."

"Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir (9 January 1908 – 14 April 1986) was a French writer, intellectual, existentialist philosopher, political activist, feminist and social theorist. Though she did not consider herself a philosopher, she had a significant influence on both feminist existentialism and feminist theory.
"De Beauvoir wrote novels, essays, biographies, autobiography and monographs on philosophy, politics and social issues. She was known for her 1949 treatise The Second Sex, a detailed analysis of women's oppression and a foundational tract of contemporary feminism; and for her novels, including She Came to Stay and The Mandarins. She was also known for her lifelong open relationship with French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre."

What proceeds death? Heaven or nothingness? If heaven exists where can its boundaries be drawn? For some, there is a very thin line that distinguishes heaven and purgatory. In this case, the line is a bit thicker, and the other side of the physical world is a bit more vague in its interpretation.
Death is a product of time; time elicits death, for time causes aging, decay, causality of death-inducing events, etc.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dimensions are characterized by space. In a simple sense, the 4th dimension can be considered simply "time," but to be more concise, it is more-so "space-time" since time is dependent upon the movement of spatial objects to give reference to time. The physical world is characterized as space. The world changes because it is a space of transience due to its interference by time; time elicits death; all physical entities born within the world are born to die. But death—not simply human death, more-so the recycling of energy—is superseded by the response of birth, and thus life returns to its origin. For every death there is a birth. Existing is not simply an endeavor of the mind, body, soul, etc., but one of perpetual consciousness manifested in all things. It is a constant. To exist is to have existed, to exist now, and to exist forever.

Our friend Gjermund looks a little hostile here. But he is actually explaining his take on existentialism, and in particular Kierkegaard.
"Who am I, Kylie? "Why a fox? Why not a horse, or a beetle, or a bald eagle? I'm saying this more as, like, existentialism, you know? Who am I? And how can a fox ever be happy without, you'll forgive the expression, a chicken in its teeth?"

In the emptiness of this isolated gas station, a sign reading "You Are Nowhere" stands as both a literal statement and a profound metaphor. The barren landscape stretches endlessly, echoing a feeling of aimless wandering in life’s vast spaces. Captured by Duncan Rawlinson, this image invites us to ponder the paradox of feeling both lost and omnipresent—nowhere yet everywhere, all at once. The quiet stillness of the scene, punctuated only by a solitary yellow truck, offers a moment of existential reflection on where we truly stand in the world, both physically and mentally.

SECRET SIX
i'm always battling the nihilist inside of me. i do believe in existentialism, but there is always a part of me that thinks that we have no purpose. i refuse to fully believe that, though. we all have a purpose, we just have to make it happen for our own selves.
ps- this secret came about an hour early, because ill be extremely busy all day tomorrow.<3
Following a particularly disastrous morning walk that made me wonder why I carried a camera, we made our way through town to Peveril Point. It is one of my favourite places and tends to be reasonably quiet.

This sculpture really struck me right in the existentialism. The card describing it gives a quote by the artist. "The thought is the eternally present fact that however closely we may be thrown together by circumstances...we are unknown to each other." The figures carved into the marble are forever linked together, and yet they can't even really see each other.

Periodically there will be a photo from Mars which the sharer purports is some object of meaning. Of course it's all just rock and our imagination. And now they claim there is water on mars And if so what--The potential to become in several billion earth years something akin to the march of Western world? It will be as meaningless as those objects now being shared of the red planet.
