What's Reality Anyway?!

There is as far as I'm concerned a difference between reality and truth. Things might be as unreal as fairytales or a stageplay, yet they can and often do contain a truth.

Art,especially poetry, relies on this and on you investigating into it.

"Beware of the implications"

Let's Face It II

Interesting to watch how Bent Van Looy takes Hollywood at face value, quite open and frank.

F for Fake, but still if one does as he does, there might be just a little, maybe even not a little bit, of truth hidden beneath all of this. Maybe reality is never so harsh as in a place where there seems to be so little care for it. Yet maybe this may only be discovered the way he does it, by strolling around.

What's Reality Anyway II

Though the last post might have been fun, there is also a sinister side to a wide and open perception. When I was at the Biennale in Venice in 1997, there was a work of art entitled "Secret Missile" (if I remember correctly) on display. This one really haunted me, but when I talked to other people about it, they did not seem to have noticed what I have noticed, except for one and this thankfully made me certain that it hadn't been a delusion.

The work of art consisted of a collage of photos and stills from films. Among them, one that made me very particularly feel sick. It was a sequence from a film showing frame by frame what looked like and for all I know actually was the execution of partisans in WWII .The most terrible thing to me was that I was given the ability to go back and forth, resurrecting the people again and again, just to let them die again and again. All of a sudden I was hit by the terrible notion of why people would film such things, a sickening and disgusting game.

When it's got to do a lot with one's perception! I remember diving for something that I perceived lying around while I was walking about and my companion was very puzzled by my move. At least it got me a nice necklace made of wooden beads ;)!

Strange Days

Something appears to be coming. These are always the days that make me wonder and anticipate a lot. "Is it the howl of the devil or a sound divine?!"


And yes the edges of reality ;)!
