Such Art Does Not Merely Recall The Past As A Social Casue Or Aesthetic Precedent; It Renews The Past,

Such art does not merely recall the past as a social casue or aesthetic precedent; it renews the past, refiguring it as a contingent 'in-between' space, that innovates and interrupts the performance of the present. The 'past-present' becomes part of the necessity, not the nostalgia, of living.

(two things: (1) "interrupts the performance of the present", sth, I feel, photography is prone to; (2) "necessity"... !!!)

formidable randomness II - levels of openness

this concludes my (more or less) abstract parenthesis. I will return to this series with some shots (maybe a sub-series), though, that are more me, upon the presentation of which I have to agree first. until then formidable randomness will occur.....

David Sylvian - Approaching silence

Say you have heard of Japan (as in the neo-romantic pop band), and didn't like their output very much. Say you are more into drone, and bands like Barn Owl, Kandodo, Godspeed and not least Sunn have really turned your listening experience into something new - away from plain hearing towards a more vanguard (as in avant-garde) engagement in music.  Say you just loved the last Tim Hecker (as in Ravedeath 1972) output. And now you've come full circle....

Or maybe not... In some versions of this you can hear a really famous and inspiring line by Robert Fripp: "Our present position is the bridge between. But we have yet to discover it, because we're building the bridge while crossing it."

And now you've somehow moved over to post-colonialism and third space and whilst trying to imagine in-betweenness and the beyond you just want to listen to a really perfectionist, calming tune.....

it always get a bit fuzzy at the transition
