"I have a strong memory of loneliness and despair when I was young and far away from home,
sitting on the shore at Aberystwyth in Wales, watching the sea gulls hovering over the sea.
Deep inside me echoed the words:
My hunger knows no wings."
A project on spontaneous imagery
Here's a project in which I need your help!
About a week ago, I was taking a bus back home
and all of the sudden I had the most intense feeling of paranoia
I've never experienced so much fear of other people as that day
When I finally got home and came to my senses again
I felt I needed to do something to remember this feeling
Something to remind me how utterly ridiculous it is
to fear what other people think or say about you
How stupid it is to even contemplate this
To keep in mind that we're all alone in our own consciousness
and that we should celebrate the moments that we feel connected to other people('s minds),
rather then fearing our differences
Okay
I intended to explain all this in as little words as possible, cos here's the thing:
I'd like to ask you if you've ever had a similar experience,
or not even similar: any moment that you were so absorbed in a feeling, a thought or a handling,
that you felt you experienced the world around you in a way it has never occurred to you before..
And, can you make up an image to go with this moment?
It doesn't have to be a recent experience, it doesn't has to take much of your time,
you don't have to explain and you shouldn't feel restricted in any artistic way
Maybe you just can't grasp the experience in an image and it turns out blanc,
maybe you can connect it to just one color,
maybe it's a photograph,
maybe a word/a sentence/a poem, ...
I don't wanna use to many words, cos it's your mind's expression that I need
Anything really, that comes to mind when you remember this moment.
I want to gather all these images of altered consciousness right here in this blog,
adding new views on this world every day
First image is a photograph of what I did last week, just as an example
Secretly I hope to find some similarities in the way we project
and handle these moments of indescribable weirdness
Thank you for your cooperation!
