ODE TO GIACOMO


"I know I have existed and, being certain of this precisely because I have felt, I also know that I shall no longer exist when I have ceased to feel"
....
Probably why he is the most famous lover of all times.

VATICAN KILLED THE CHURCH STAR



Born and raised a Catholic, it took a walk through the Vatican walls to sink the last nail on the coffin of my relationship with the all mighty Church.

It took me back to items on the Colombian evening news indirectly showcasing a race for the most extravagant Narco-King home . One more outrageous than the next. Gold sinks, priceless art and larger than life architecture. All live on TV after the inhabitant had found its death by hands of the police or his/her equals.

The power, the abuse, the lack of sense of reality...Same principle, same corrupt background for the capital that built it. The difference is, the narcos home arent treated as attractions worth traveling hundreds-thousands of kilometers. The Vatican is.

On the beauty side of things, they did have some magnificent art and light.

....

Thoughts are duplicable and transferable beings.
I have an idea, I vocalize it and its now almost identically imprinted in your brain.
Almost exact.
One could say fotocopied, with just a tiny change if anything. Barely noticeable.

Emotions on the other hand are unique.
I dont know if you love like I love.
If I tell you how I feel when I love it doesnt mean you can feel it.
If I tell you I love you, it doesnt mean you have the capability to love me back the same way, or even remotely close.

Its a non transferable ownership.
Unique and unduplicable. Unshakeable.

That makes them so much more special over rationality and thought.
Thats why we are still obsessed by them.
Thats probably why you dont understand.
Thats why I am a creature of love, and you are just a creature.

KLAMPENBORGVEJ


On the way to see some Hammershoi paintings on Mor's car we passed this house.
It looked like it had been abandoned since the 70's, very wood and yellow tones in the rooms, but it was later discovered thanks to the kids schedules still hanging on the doors that it must have been early 90s.
Damp and water had fully taken over... its their house now. Did someone die here?
No idea. Couldn't find anything on the papers about it.


Windows were all smashed into tiny triangular christals as if a bomb had exploded inside the house, yet cards, toys, towels and little intimate and personal belongings were still in their places as if the residents had just walked out the door for some milk and cookies.
Beautiful humid mess.

METAL RAINBOW, THE PLACE WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE.


While SCRMN was live painting in Dortmund TRBL went scavenger hunting through forrests and abandoned construction sites.
The ghosts of German industry past invited me to climb a fence into a place where mortal eyes dont get any rest and lose themselves in the maze of pipes, fences and tanks. A place where metal takes a life of its own and mutates into wonderful and vibrant colors only nature could have come up with. This place is called Phoenix.
