those birthday nights

the lady in a hat

How can you know
that I am lonely
when I say 'good night'?
How can we live
when we only
see the outer shell,
when we are far away?
In our galaxies
full of stardust,
illuminated with ourselves
and all the medals on our shelves.
I wish we could only see
this, all this, everything.
This diamond deep below the sea.

darkless Chaos n Mikulov

Back in August and September I attended two art events - one landart symposium in Chaos and one photographic workshop in Mikulov, Czech Republic. 

Because both events were happening during the fullmoon, I could take photos at night and here are the results. 

  

So, during the night I was taking photos and during the day we were working on this video about two very strange characters and their adventures in the town of Mikulov. 

Check it out below or here.

moonsetting

This is just one of the small episodes in my life that actually leave great marks. 

I have had the pleasure of watching the Moonset only couple of times in my life so far, but it was always magical....each time I was in a different phase of my life, yet realising so many things that could be described in words like vastness, emptiness, loneliness, heaviness, timelessness, hopelessness, cold, shivering, silence, no one, nothing, everything, you, now, nada en todo...and the fragility of it all. 

This is just a small story, small piece of it. But the question is: 

How can I share this? 

How can we share those existential meltdowns, that presence, with someone else? 

How can we share anything? 

How can I share it all?

 

 

 

the new romantic aka PPRS

Back in March we formed the Post Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood. 

Since most of us have a strong inclination for romantic scenery and dramatic portraiture, we wanted to capture this new, modern sensitivity while referring to the old style of the Romantic period and Pre-Raphaelites. 

This is an open sisterhood of women who are not afraid to show a new kind of sophisticated pathos and conscious kitsch. 

To be continued....

all those liquid nights

I guess we all love warm summer nights when you can stay outside and be liquid all night long. 

Shooting under such circumstances is a real pleasure. Sometimes the shots are carefully constructed and timed, but mostly it's a matter of intuition, feeling and good luck. 

Being in the right place at the right time.

all those nights at Sklenářka

I had the pleasure of spending some incredible nights at Sklenářka during the full moon and this is what came out of it. 

I recommend that place to anyone who wants to find a better connection than wifi. 

It's very peaceful but at the same time very transformative. 

And in the middle of nowhere....see here.
