αποχαιρετισμός

"Something,someone,some spirit was pursuing all of us across the desert of life
and was bound to catch us before we reached heaven.Naturally,now that i look back on it,this is only death:death will overtake us before heaven."

μας λείπεις πολύ motorik VELorama

stood aside

what shall i say

and

where should i see

or

shall i turn away from me

i feel like i am melting

diving into the sea

flying away

like a handicapped bee

wandering endlessly

wanting a drink

feel i could be

the straw from a gin

i wanted to be

the hand in need

but now i feel like

a bass

without one string

proud of my friends

the art of being invisible

"so many feelings

end up in here

left so alone i'm with

oh,an atmosphere

i'm sick and i'm tired of reasoning

just want to break out

shake off this skin"

η αόρατη απειλή

καθώς συναντούσα σιωπηλά

το σκοτάδι

εμποδίζοντας τις λέξεις να ανασυρθούν

και την αλήθεια να αλλάξει χρώμα,

η αποστασιοποίηση με

τύλιξε με το μαύρο της πέπλο

do not block my view

παγερή σιωπή

έχει παγωσει ο χρόνος
βαδίζουμε προς τα πίσω

πίσω στο χρόνο

πίσω





μας κοίτα χαμογελαστή
και παγωμένη
εκεί πίσω στη καθημερινότητά μας

Wuppertal obituary

The city of Wuppertal is considered to be remembered for two people.One is Friedrich Engels and the other one is Pina Bausch.Apart from anything else they both have created "a strong and engaged sympathy for the misery of the underprivileged classes of bourgeois society".
Bausch was born on July 27,1940(five years before word-war II comes to an end).She grew up in Solingen,a city that tried to heal the wounds of a catastrophic war,within a family that struggled to make a living.She studied at the Essen Folkwang School where Kurt Yooss became the catalytic factor of her perception of dance(dance with a message).She was trained in a mixed technique of ballet and modern dance and she quickly stood out from the rest of the class."Her stark,eartbound personality,the stare of her eyes which always seemed to look under the surface of things to reveal the innermost sorrow and pity and the massive weight of each of her movements made it impossible to overlook her".She moved to New York with a scholarship where she studied with Antony Tudor,Jose Limon,Paul Taylor and many othes.In 1973,she took over the artistic direction of the then-called Wuppertal Opera Ballet and she tried to create her own codes in order to express her conception of the world around her.The subject matter of her work identified by Norbert Servos is the following:"Her pieces deal with love and fear,longing and loneliness,frustration and terror.Man's exploitation of man(and in particular,man's expoitation of women) in world made to conform to the former's ideas),about remembering and forgetting.They are aware of the difficulties of human coexistence and seek ways to reduce the distance between two or more individuals".But could her work be considered political?The Bausch herself denies that,by pointing out that "there are no political references or comments in my work".Pina studied in depth and in details the 'characters' of her pieces influenced by the psychological portraits of Antony Tudor as well as the analysis and continuous observation of the social web.She supported that her "pieces grow from inside out" while in one of her interviews she confessed that "the steps have always come from somewhere else.They never came from the legs.And working on the movements we always do that in between.And then we're alays making little dance phrases which we keep in mind.In earlier days i may have still started with a movement out of worry or panic,and dodged the question.Nowadays i start with the questions".Bausch used to say repeatedly that she is "not interested in how people move,but in what moves them".Hypocrites,well-disposed,living in fake state of awareness.Pesronalities that are about to fall apart from second to second,insecure and blunderers,capable of saying the wrong things in the wrong time.Her heroes were vulnerable,imperfect,children trapped in adult bodies.Scenes which cause melancholy,sadness,pain and inevitably driving the audience to recall personal memories that often cause uneasiness and bitterness.Not to mention that she has been accused as a "pornographer of pain"....Apart from enemies,Bausch has of course a fanatic audience around the world.Richard Siks considers that her contribution to dance is a process not a product:dancetheatre is in constant state of change..and poorer now that dancetheater's pioneer passed away....

Man and woman become latest case of `Internet suicide'

DPA, TAIPEI
Monday, Jul 04, 2005, Page 3

Two Taiwanese who met on the Internet have committed suicide together in the latest case of "Internet suicide," a newspaper said yesterday.

Liang Yi-chun, 25, and Chen Chen-kai, 21, were found dead at Liang's apartment Saturday in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan, by Liang's boyfriend. The two had died from burning charcoal, the Chinese-language United Daily News said.

"Liang's boyfriend told police that Liang has been suicidal for a long time and recently met a man on the Internet who also wanted to commit suicide," the paper said.

Liang left a suicide note saying she killed herself because "it is painful to be alive."

In her diary, she mentioned that she had met a man who had "the same purpose."

So-called Internet suicides began in Japan and have spread to Taiwan, South Korea and China.

Since January, Taiwan has reported a dozen cases, and Taiwan police have shut down several suicide Web sites.

Taiwan has one of the highest suicide rates in Asia. Last year, 3,468 Taiwanese took their own lives, averaging 10 suicides per day or one suicide every two and a half hours.

fire walk with me

PARADISE LOST (μέρος πρώτο)

οι ταινίες του Wong Kar Wai

οι πατημασιές πάνω στο χιόνι

οι μυρωδιά του δέρματός αυτού που αγαπώ

να βρίσκεις ένα πεταμένο θησαυρό στα σκουπίδια

η περιπλάνηση με το ποδήλατο σε άγνωστες γωνιές της πόλης

όταν ξυπνάς μέσα στο αεροπλάνο και μπορείς να αγγίξεις τα σύννεφα

να τρως καρπούζι με χέρι που μυρίζει αντιηλιακό στη παραλία

να είσαι εκεί όταν σε χρειάζεται ένας φίλος

τα μακαρόνια με κυμά

οι πρώτες σεξουαλικές συνευρέσεις με αυτόν που ποθείς

η επικοινωνία με τους συναδέλφους πάνω στη σκηνή

τα ξαφνικά φλασμπάκ από τη παιδική ηλικία

το χουρχουριτό του Μίο

ο ιδρώτας που κυλάει στο σώμα μετά τη προπόνηση

όταν έχω πιεί πολύ αλλά όχι αρκετά

ο κόσμος του Murakami

ο 'επιληπτικός' ήχος του μπάσου

όταν από μονάδα αφομιώνεσαι στο πλήθος

το νοτισμένο χώμα

όταν το βαπόρι σχίζει τη θάλασσα,είμαι στη πλώρη

και σταγόνες σαν ντούζ

πέφτουν στο πρόσωπο

μου

heaven is the feeling I get in your arms

like the old days

new dresses for callasettes

sunday morning

early dawning,sunday morning
it's just the wasted years so close behind

i won't rest until i forget about it

είμαστε στριμωγμένοι
δώσε μου ένα ντορίτος
σπιντάρουμε και τους προσπερνάμε
φοβήθηκαν
γέλια
κάνουμε μία στάση-συνεχίζουμε
μας πιάνει το φανάρι
η Πειραιώς άδεια
συνεχίζουμε να ανεβαίνουμε
οι ήχοι τους μας ακολουθούν
πώς προφέρονται αυτοί
ζίου ζίου
τους είχα δεί λάιβ πριν κάποια χρόνια

land without bread

dust of other days

sunday afternoon

η αβεβαιότητα
μας σκεπάζει με
το θολό της πέπλο

ήρθα για να μείνω
μου φώναξε

μέχρι να γυρίσω
είχε πηδήξει στο
διπλανό
μπαλκόνι

ο ήλιος καίει την άσφαλτο ξανά,
ψάχνω να βρώ το κομμάτι που
έχασα

WHAT I BELIEVE

i believe in my own obsessions,in the beauty of a car crash,in the peace of the submerged forest,in the excitements of the deserted holiday beach,in the elegance of automobile graveyards,in the mystery of multi-storey car parks,in the poetry of abandoned hotels.
...
i believe in the forgotten runways of Wake Island,pointing towards the Pacifics of our imaginations.
...
i believe in madness,in the truth of the inexplicable,in the common sence of stones,in the lunacy of flowers,in the disease stored up for the human race by Apollo astronauts.

i believe in nothing
i believe in flight,in the beauty of the wing,in the beauty of everything tha has ever flown,in the stone thrown by a small child that carries with it the wisdom of statesmen and midwives.
...
i believe in the gentleness of the surgeon's knife,in the limitless geometry of the cinema screen,in the hidden universe within supermarkets,in the loneliness of the sun,in the garrulousness of planets,in the repetitiveness of ourselves,in the inexistence of the universe and the boredom of the atom.
...
i believe in the non existence of the past,in the death of the future,and the infinite possibilities of the present.
i believe in the derangement of the sences:in Rimbaud.William Burroughs.Huysmans,Genet,Celine,Swift,Defoe,Carroll,Coleridge,Kafka.
...
I BELIEVE IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES.

i believe in the history of my feet.
i believe in anxiety,psychosis and despair.
...
i believe in the death of emotions and the triumph of imagination.
i believe in Tokio,Benidorm,La Grand Motte,Wake Island,Eniwetok,Dealey Plaza.
i believe in alcoholism,venereal disease,fever and exhaustion.I believe in pain.I believe in despair.I believe in all children.
...
i believe all excuses
i believe all reasons
i belive all hallucinations
i believe all anger
i believe all mythologies,memories,lies,fantasies,evasions.
i believe in the mystery and the melancholy of a hand,in the kindness of trees,in the wisdom of light.

εκκεντρικός λεηλατητής

λοιπόν μή μου αρνείσθε να μου πείτε το αντικείμενο,παρακαλώ,του πυρετού σας,του βλέμματός σας πάνω μου,τον λόγο να μου τον πείτε και αν το ζήτημα είναι να μην πληγώσετε καθόλου την αξιοπρέπειά σας,ε λοιπόν,πείτε τον όπως όταν τον λέμε σ'ένα δέντρο,ή μπροστά στον τοίχο μιας φυλακής,ή μέσα στη μοναξιά ενός κάμπου με βαμβάκι όπου κάνουμε τον περίπατο μας,γυμνοί τη νύχτα.Να μου τον πείτε χωρίς καν να με κοιτάξετε.

it's been so long so long so long
