Asking in Antwerp


At dawn in Antwerp, the naive questions kept pouring out


In the only open bar at 04.30, with Meatloaf in the background
I would do anything for love (but I won't do that). 


Well, can they?

"tout bon"

A few thoughts on the boundaries of the individual





une question, s'il vous plaît

 
Milan Kundera once wrote that only the most naive of questions are truly serious.
That these questions, often without answers, set the limits of human possibilities.
 
So, you see why it is important to pose them.
 

 
 Diderot knew that aswell, long before Kundera. 
 

 
I like to imagine the face of whichever university official who collects the mail today.

Where words seem redundant

Even among all this pressing beauty, 
at Mount Edith Cavell, Canada
 There is always some room for words




Just a few notes,
and the rest is fresh air

Time and space in the land of Fantasy


In Sleeping Beauty's castle, 
time and space feel obsolete, unnecessary




Borges folded himself up and placed himself safely in this chandelier.


Distances used to be greater,
because space shrinks over time.

fighting failure of feeling

Maybe you are thinking that consumerism does not inspire anything?
You'd be wrong.


In this lovely Christmas shop at Disneyland, Paris
I sneaked in a little note to remind someone -anyone- of the importance of emotion.


The obvious, yet beautiful words from Kay Larson are waiting in this cup of Disney-Love.
