Aye, existentialism and it's catalytic rationale upon the perfomace of "sociaties" endemic and unrealised oeuvre an that!
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre (21 June 1905 – 15 April 1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic, considered a leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism. Sartre was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism (and phenomenology). His work has influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies, and continues to do so. He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature despite attempting to refuse it, saying that he always declined official honors and that "a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution."

My piece bears its footing in the catchphrase: "What doesn't kill you, Makes you stronger." An aphorism by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who passionately worked on “existentialism.” I have hereby extrapolated this lovely precept to depict an astronaut carrying home his indigenous bugs (microbiome) which have survived through the void of cosmos, metamorphosing to thrive against all odds! Furthermore, my piece depicts fellow humans awaiting with childlike innocence the return of their astronaut carrying the gift of extremophile microbe balloons. Canvas: Urochrome agar (routinely used in clinical microbiology laboratories for isolating pathogens causing urinary tract infections). Color-palette credits: Escherichia coli, Candida albicans & Enterococcus faecalis.
This image, titled "Solitary Progression," is a freeze-frame of contemplation, capturing a figure halted mid-stride, struck by a profound realization. Through Duncan Rawlinson's lens, where photography coalesces with the sophisticated nuances of artificial intelligence, the homage to Alberto Giacometti's "Walking Man I" is re-envisioned. Here, the emphasis shifts to a moment of stillness—a departure from movement—where the figure is caught in an introspective interlude. The sculpture, embodying tranquility, stands as a metaphor for the sudden epiphanies that arrest us on life's journey. It's as if the figure has stumbled upon an unexpected truth, and in that silent revelation, time stands still. The stark stillness that surrounds the figure is more than a physical pause; it marks an intersection of cognitive awakening and the existential journey. Rawlinson's work is a symphony of AI and human artistic vision, a testament to the latent power of technology meeting the depth of human inquiry. This piece resonates with the innate human quest for moments of insight along the paths we tread.

BUSK BLEACH & ZADOK began painting in 1985 , 1995 + 2000 and have consistently charted new territory with their amazing street pieces . Now, 3 distinct minds from 3 decades of painting come together to create a groundbreaking exhibition / installation show at the pure evil gallery.
BUSK BLEACH AND ZADOK present a show entitled PASCALS WAGER
Pascal’s Wager (or Pascal’s Gambit) is a suggestion posed by the French philosopher Blaise Pascal that even though the existence of God cannot be determined through reason, a person should wager as though God exists, because living life accordingly has everything to gain, and nothing to lose. It was set out in note 233 of his Pensées, a posthumously published collection of notes made by Pascal in his last years as he worked on a treatise on Christian apologetics.
Historically, Pascal’s Wager was groundbreaking as it had charted new territory in probability theory, was one of the first attempts to make use of the concept of infinity, marked the first formal use of decision theory, and anticipated the future philosophies of pragmatism and voluntarism.
Blaise Pascal argued that if reason cannot be trusted, it is a better “wager” to believe in God than not to do so.
The wager builds on the theme of other Pensées where Pascal systematically dismantles the notion that we can trust reason. Although his notes were found without definite order after his death (the Pensées numbering scheme was added by publishers for reference purposes), it can be inferred that the section regarding the wager would have followed his other thoughts that supply the foundation. Much of the book attacks certainty, and is often cited as the first work on existentialism .
"This is the light of the mind, cold and planetary.
The trees of the mind are black. The light is blue.
The grasses unload their griefs on my feet as if I were
God.
Prickling my ankles and murmuring of their humility.
Fumey, spiritous mists inhabit this place
Seperated from my house by a row of headstones.
I simply cannot see where there is to get to."
- Sylvia Plath, selection from "The Moon and the Yew Tree"
This photo reminds me of my esoteric days studying Existentialism: "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster." ~ Nietzsche
‘There is no physical evidence that may imply to show that God exists. However, there is spiritual evidence and this evidence can be served within you.’

I float in time with open mind...
A quest; a chance of riddled thought:
Infinity squared, then seek to find
An answer; pained and overwrought,
I dodder with an addled head;
Befuddled, merging with a haze of
Mysticism, then to tread
A metaphoric swamp – a maze
Of existentialism…
