Ok Rack, I will tell you what I am going to try to do, although it is a little crazy, and is somewhat a ‘kernel’ still. I have this idea about timelines, it’s always been there, but now I am going for it more consciously. Of course, it revolves around ‘Rack and Ruin’, but they are no longer only us.
There are three main ‘timelines’. The first is 1917/1918, and a story of a double pandemic: Syphilis and The Spanish Flu. Two men, an Irish writer and a French artists set up a three-day assignation in a Dublin hotel, 'The Shelbourne' to take opium, cocaine, and mercury, and perform what they call ‘The Lancing Cure’. Their assumed names are Rack and Ruin, their cover, one is gay, the other is ‘straight’, or at least as gay as Duchamp might have been and as ‘straight’ as that notorious ‘petomane’ Joyce was. They won’t be named in this part of the 'book', they will be Rack and Ruin, two desperate men looking for both a type of fellowship in their shared condition, and some release through a mercury cure. Both have syphilis, of course. (I am remembering our high tea in ‘The Shelbourne’, that hysteria). Ruin has booked a room for three nights, and filled it with what would be needed for this ‘cure’.
The second time-line is, of course, from 1987 to the present (2021), with that ‘Rack and Ruin’ we are used to, you and me maneuvering from one pandemic to another, finding fellowship.
The third is the future, two characters met on a clunky website called Flickr, in 2022. They never actually meet, other than on this ‘astral plain’. Their gender is ‘indeterminate’, flexible and fluid, but mainly because gender doesn’t matter anymore in 2040. They have survived a double pandemic during the 20s, and are sort of the narrators. They are both fat and very old and permanently attached to screens, though keyboards aren’t necessary anymore. They are also gender-neutral simply because at their age all that doesn’t matter anymore, as if a second reason was needed. They have been set free to be tied down to their monitors. Pandemics are over, more or less, with everyone remaining hermetically sealed, as extensions of their computers. Food is now downloaded and printed out, and everybody is writing furiously, or creating digital ‘mash-ups’, to entertain each other. Permanently sitting still has reduced carbon emissions completely, so that’s no longer a problem either. President Thunberg (of the European Federation) and President Kardashian of the USA seem to have worked out their differences. Everything, and everyone, here in the Netherlands, is floating along nicely, those floating pontoons really work!
Even in cyberspace Rack and Ruin still blister each other, as they already have for hundreds of years, apparently.
So, what we have so far: You know I have studied and been obsessed with Duchamp for well over 40 years, even basing my doctorate around him. I am currently busy unpacking Joyce (again). I presume that I haven’t got 40 years to unpack him, but I do seem to be going for it with a vengeance (see Flickr). Eventually they won’t be them anyway, but they will be used as a type of fodder, I will be using their ideas.
I have started, tentatively, a sort of rough ‘draft’, a quasi ‘statement of intention’. It’s under the ‘The Lancing Cure’ image on Flickr (attached). It is unedited, uncorrected, raw. Duchamp and Joyce are both mentioned by name, but my intention is not to name them, to keep that open. I also recognize an indebtedness to ‘Orlando’, but then Woolf was an obsession for years too when I was struggling initially with the incestuous abuse in my childhood. Her ‘22 Hyde Park Gate’ is an extraordinary document.
This e-mail will be part of it. It is written by the fat grey Ruin of a gender-free man attached to a monitor.
Anything you ever write to me will be used, treated as if we actually had something worthwhile to say, something that might be of use. I wanted to get this ‘intention’ down, that’s enough for now. We have no idea how far we will get. Sometimes stating your intention might suffice, it might even encourage someone else to go further. Surely that is more than enough.
I can almost guarantee that it will all be 'gloriously purple', and therefore not to everyone’s taste. The beast will out, either way.

Not quite sure what that statement is, though... She's wearing Mommy's crocs, a lovely pink sun hat (a gift from Milli) and has an old pair of slipper socks on her hands. I had thrown the socks away because they have a hole in the heel. Lilli found them and dug them out of the trash. She loves them. They have a cow print, so she puts them on her hands and walks around saying "Mooooo!" You can see that she has a finger poked through the hole.

This is the 10th image in the series called "Faceless Identity" The project is an investigation into the relationship between identity, time and distance.
This is the Artist Statement for "Faceless Identity"'
I have always been interested in portraits that do not conform to the norm. My photographic work always consists of capturing a live moment, but with my knowledge and extended research I have created a new direction of work with a personal perspective.
One of the main topics explored through this project is identity and time. To explore whether a character or personality can be captured during a period of time. The character throughout this project is myself, adding a personal view of how I can change over time. Each selection of images were taken over different days. I look different on each day, which shows how my identity has changed.
The triptych also expresses the factor between identity and time. The three images show the difference of identity over a small amount of time. The project in total shows the difference of identity over a long period. The difference between clothes, hair and even mood makes each image different in expressing identity.
Distance is also an important factor of the project. Depending on the distance of the viewer, the images takes on a different form due to the motion blur. Details are clear close up and the overall shape is visible further away. This expresses a difference in portrayal of identity depending on the distance of a person.
This project has been one of my most personal to date. Photographing myself over a long period has been an intimate experience. Creating a personal project has explored my own identity through photographic form.
I have taken inspiration from Alejandro Guijarro with his exploration of pixilation and audience visibility. Having an image take on a different form due to distance hugely inspired my thought process throughout this project, which influenced the use of a fast shutter speed through my self-portraits.
The future holds more self-portrait projects. My goals of expressing my identity photographically have been successful. After this effective project involving myself, I look forward to exploring myself photographically hereafter.

BRATTLEBORO -- Former Brattleboro Food Co-op employee Richard Gagnon pleaded guilty Friday to killing fellow co-op employee Michael Martin last year and was sentenced to 17 years in prison.
Gagnon had pleaded not guilty and was facing first degree murder charges.
He was scheduled to go to trial early next year for the killing but reached a plea deal with the state last week.
The former co-op beer and wine manager pleaded guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years to life.
He received a sentence of 17 years, with time served to include the year and almost three months that he has already spent in prison.
Gagnon, who was 59 years old at the time of slaying, could be released from prison in 2028 when he is 76 years old.
Gagnon was wearing shackles and appeared distraught and gaunt when he walked in to the Windham County Superior Court, which was packed with members of Martin's family as well as with his own family members and friends.
After pleading guilty and receiving his sentence Gagnon apologized to the Martin family and said Michael Martin did not deserve to die.
"I was a good man for 59 years. I respected all life and I never hurt anybody," he said to Judge David Suntag in a barely audible voice.
"But I broke down and I felt like my life was coming to an end. The gun was supposed to be for me but instead I used it on Michael. I can never take it back. It is never going to get better. It is never going to go away."
Gagnon worked at the Brattleboro Food Co-op for 20 years and tensions between him and Martin intensified in the days leading up to the killing.
According to court records, Martin, who was Gagnon's superior, had given Gagnon unfavorable evaluations and on the Friday before the shooting Martin suggested that Gagnon take a severance package and leave the co-op.
In court Friday Windham County Deputy State's Attorney David Gartenstein said Gagnon told a psychiatrist that during the following weekend he descended into a vortex of despair.
Gagnon told a psychiatrist that he contemplated suicide and tried to kill his wife that weekend, Gartenstein said.
The following Monday Gagnon called in sick.
On Tuesday, Aug. 9, just after 8 a.m., he shot Martin in the head with a semiautomatic handgun and killed him while he was at his desk.
In explaining the state's decision to accept a plea deal, Gartenstein said Gagnon's eventual sentence would have not likely been much different.
Gartenstein said the trial would be a "burden on the community" and he wondered what more would be gained by having co-op employees, Martin family members and others testify.
He also said that some of Martin's family members did not support the deal and thought Gagnon should go to trial for first degree murder and spend the rest of his life in prison.
Before Gagnon was sentenced a number of Martin's children and family members gave emotional statements about the killing.
Cathy Fisk, Martin's sister, said 17 years was not enough time and she said Gagnon should spend the rest of his life in prison for what he did.
"Only a cold-blooded murderer would shoot a man in the back of the head," she said. "You are getting away with murder. I hope you are never free from the guilt."
Martin's other sister Jo Ann Berno said it was impossible to understand what Gagnon did that August morning.
She said that while she could not forgive him, she did have compassion for Gagnon's family, though she said she will fight to make sure Gagnon serves out his complete sentence.
"There is a deep sadness and emptiness that I feel on a daily basis. Our hearts have been broken," Berno said. "We will attend every parole hearing and make sure you are not released. The pain will never end for us."
Leah Martin, Michael Martin's daughter, said she did not want to see her father's killer, but said she came to honor him.
"I cry every day. The suffering is endless," she said. "Seventeen years is not enough. What you did is unforgivable."
And Ella Martin, another of his daughters, said Gagnon ripped apart her life.
Ella Martin said her father had been her sole parent after her parents divorced and she said Gagnon took away "the only man in my life who I trusted whole heartedly."

They Live, We Sleep
Artist Statement
“We are living in an artificially induced state of consciousness that resembles sleep. The poor and the underclass are growing. Racial justice and human rights are nonexistent.
They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it.
They have created a repressive society and we are their unwitting accomplices ...their intention to rule rests with the annihilation of consciousness.
We have been lulled into a trance.
They have made us indifferent, to ourselves, to others; we are focused only on our own gain. They are safe as long as they are not discovered ...that is their primary method of survival.
Keep us asleep, keep us selfish, keep us sedated...they are dismantling the sleeping middle class.
More and more people are becoming poor. We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery.”
– They Live
This photographic body of work is inspired by John Carpenter’s 1988 film, “They Live.” The movie was also credited by Shepard Fairey “as a major source of inspiration for his own subversive brand of street art.” They Live was the basis for his use of the word ‘OBEY’ that became his main campaign and a popular clothing brand consequently.
The protagonist of the movie, an unemployed drifter named "Nada," accidentally comes across a box of sunglasses. After putting a pair on, he realizes that they are quite special. He sees the world in black and white and discovers that it's not what it seems. The series of images I have created are like those unique sunglasses that Nada stumbled upon, aim to show the world to the viewer for what it truly is. I hope they will help people to take into consideration what they sacrifice by blindly following self-serving governments and corporations’ agendas.
Through this photographic project my intent is to encourage people to be more aware of the habitual ways of living that we have been thoughtlessly following for most of human history. It seems as though the human race would have learned by now to not put their trust in the hands of the misguiding ruling class. Unfortunately most of the humanity is still in the state of mindless consumerism and simply does not realize that their decisions, their entire lives are being manipulated.

Photographs I made for Daniel Feinberg's Master of Fine Arts project, Deployment: The Plight of Ought
Daniels's statement below:
Deployment: The Plight of Ought, my Master of Fine Arts project, is a sculptural film project composed of multiple performances intended to encourage the viewer to consider our understanding of knowledge and unpredictability.
In the film, I position two forces against one another, both appearing to be heavily motivated by two separate impulses. One drive is intrinsic, existing as the self-motivation of me performing in the piece, while the other is external, represented by the other performer’s entry into a modified 1986 Pontiac Fiero. However, the applications of these motivations are presented in a way that challenges whether there actually is a difference between the two.
Following a series of events that establish the professed motivations of the two personas, an inevitable clash between the two takes place. This interaction exists as a climactic performance on an airport runway where I continuously collide with the front bumper of the Pontiac Fiero, running from forty yards away into it, while the automobile is driving stationary on an elevated roller system designed and constructed specifically for this event. The interaction continues until a customized airbag-system deploys in the face of the driver, marking the conclusion of the performance.
