Once Bitten

forever smitten

Grisaille

Modern Dependence

The best way to keep people from having ideas is to have them connected to a constant flow of information.

Vitality

like a storm on the barren land - a natural force with all its inherent hazard

Kunst kommt von Kennen

  - und nicht unbedingt von Können


Art stems from knowing - and not necessarily from ability.

Deeds

to share or to keep

Of Note

Much more interesting than the delineation is the crossing, the disclosure, the space of communion.

A Question of Standards

or merit

Is diving down to fetch a ring from a depth of two meters actually the same as twice diving down one meter to fetch a ring?!

The Right Attitude

to have and to hold or to be and to spend


what goes around, comes around

Snatch

All the things stolen were just a Mercedes Star and a bike light - pretty modest thieves apparently not takin more than they actually needed or desired.

Considerate

Wenn Du vor mir stehst und mich ansiehst, was weißt Du von den Schmerzen, die in mir sind und was weiß ich von Deinen. Und wenn ich mich vor Dir niederwerfen würde und weinen und erzählen, was wüßtest Du von mir mehr als von der Hölle, wenn Dir jemand erzählt, sie ist heiß und fürchterlich. Schon darum sollten wir Menschen voreinander so ehrfürchtig, so nachdenklich, so liebend stehn wie vor dem Eingang zur Hölle. - Franz Kafka, Brief an Oskar Pollak, 8.11.1903

When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the pain inside of me or I of yours. And if I would throw myself down in front of you and would cry and narrate, what more would you know of me than of hell, if somebody were to tell you, it is hot and terrible. At least therefore we human beings should stand in front of each other as reverent, as thoughtful, as loving as at the gates of Hell. Franz Kafka, letter to Oskar Pollak, November 8th, 1903

Fool

"Nobody knows himself"

- inscription on Pieter Bruegel's drawing Elck

Steadfast

All this lovely disturbances in the routine: Like being asked if you are buying Grüner Veltliner for New Year's Eve, or random people stopping and telling about the fact that they wore not warm enough clothes the day before although the wife had been warning them...

Tell me!

The Beloved Trace

Manifestation

apparition

to manifest and to appear

Liberty

In my dreams all those ghosts live in one big house and they are having fun finally enjoying the liberty to be themselves.

Quality

the quality that will make you begin - ingenuousness

Dedication

Dreams

sometimes they are really wild.

Playful

Just wondering who wouldn`t think these lines profound - especially nowadays.

"Mickey Mouse is dead
Got kicked in the head
'Cause people got too serious
They planned out what they said They couldn't take the fantasy
They tried to accept reality
Analyzed the laughs
Cos pleasure comes in halves

The purity of comedy
They had to take it seriously Changed the words around
Tried to make it look profound
The comedian is on stage
Pisstaking for a wage
The critics think he's great
But the laughter turns to hate."

Cornerstone

Who Knows

The Potential

to share and to provoke


Luk Perceval

Vivid

All this solidity is but dead unless it has got the flow down to the guts

Playtime

Rejoice in whatever you do and from time to time have a genial laugh about it.

There

is no medium for life - just trace it

Heterogeneous

for the mind to wander in
