It was precisely for that reason, to have a bit of a quieter life, that my grandfather came and settled here—Qfwfq said—after the last supernova explosion had flung them once more into space: grandfather, grandmother, their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

These photos are failures from a strictly technical standpoint: a tripod (which I didn't have at the time) is required for really good photos of fireworks displays; I decided to steady my camera as much as possible, and hope for the best—one or two might turn out. They did turn out, in fact, but not in the way I was hoping. The photographs in this set are as imperfect as they are perfect, and reveal an unexpected beauty in the night sky that is truly captivating in a way that's difficult to describe.
I decided to pair each photo with a passage from one of Calvino's Cosmicomic stories, many of which are recounted by Qfwfq, an omnipresent, timeless, protean narrator. Each Cosmicomic story is fun, compelling, and extremely inventive, while presenting a version of reality that is completely obvious and (un)commonplace.

August - Divers 2018
Fireworks will light up the sky of the capital city for five nights on the Fridays of 27 July, and 3, 10, 17 and 24 August. The Laeken Firework will be held on the Heysel Plateau at the foot of the Palais 5.
Last summer, the City of Brussels launched five new convivial events on the Heysel Plateau: Laeken Firework Spectacular.
On Friday 27 July, plus 3, 10 , 17 and 24 August, a small village will be installed around the Atomium (Place de Belgique 1 - 1020 Brussels). Various activities will be organized, giving Laeken families, the people of Brussels and tourists the opportunity to take part, be entertained and enjoy delicious food and drinks from the many food trucks.
27/07: The circus, with 'ATOM'CIRCUS';
03/08: a creative 'DO IT YOURSELF' workshop village;
10/08: a 'JUNGLE FUN' adventure circuit with entertaining contests;
17/08: 'URBAN COLORS' for a colourful 'street art' atmosphere;
24/08: a musical journey from the 1940s to the present era: 'BACK IN TIME'.
Dance and street performances, workshops, demonstrations, games, introductory sessions... Both young and old will find plenty to their liking! And every night at 11 pm, a talented pyrotechnician will stage a dazzling firework display from the foot of Palais 5.
These five events will add even more luster to the summer programme already in place at the Heysel Plateau: Mini Europe, Oceade..., as well as tours of the Atomium, the celebrations and exhibitions organized to mark the monument's sixtieth birthday.
Diversity, warmth and interaction, our capital's biggest strengths, will be the main ingredients for Laeken Firework Spectacular. Once more this year, summer in Brussels will start with a bang!

Fireworks over the Pont d'Adolphe on the eve of Luxembourg's National Day/ Grand-Duke's Birthday in 2023
The festivities of the Bastille Day begin on July 12 and the fireworks are drawn since a barge on the Seine.
One night I was, as usual, observing the sky with my telescope. I noticed a that a sign was hanging from a galaxy a hundred million light-years away. On it was written: I SAW YOU. I made a quick calculation: the galaxy's light had taken a hundred million years to reach me, and since they saw up there what was taking place here a hundred million years later, the moment when they had seen me must date back two hundred million years.
Even before I checked my diary to see what I had been doing that day, I was seized by a ghastly presentiment: exactly two hundred million years before, not a day more or less, something had happened to me that I had always tried to hide.

Fireworks explode over the Bonsecours Basin, where ice skaters stop to squint into the smoke while dodging burning shell fragments. Good holiday fun for all! Taken on Saturday at the last of the Fire on Ice events, sponsored by Telus.
