From the window of my room

Sometimes, the bad weather can reserve you some surprises. As this photo which I took yesterday afternoon. A thundery shower cooled the city and plunges it into a foggy atmosphere. But the light of streetlights is enough warm to bring a little of heat to the district.



Quelques fois, le mauvais temps peut vous réserver des surprises. Comme cette photo que j’ai prise hier après – midi. Une averse orageuse a refroidi la ville et la plonge dans un atmosphère brouillardeux. Mais la lumière des réverbères a été suffisamment chaude pour réchauffer le quartier.

Gaudi's style

This building of the 16th district reminds me the originality and the whim of Gaudi. Don’t you think?

Essential things

Sometimes, we can’t find the word which it is necessary to express what we like.
These days, I am realizing that I finally found what fascinates me. Or in any case, what gives me envy to invest to see how I am capable of realizing my dream.

Maybe I don’t say it aloud but he knows that I am grateful. Thanks to him, I finally dared to cross the cape and decided to take things in hand. I have an admiration to him, my boss. He has this particular way of communicating, of sharing his experiences, to influence which makes you think and urges you to advance.

[Cang Xin is an artist based in Beijing working in performance art and photography.

He holds the belief that all things have spirit — both animate and inanimate objects — and approaches his work as a means to promote harmonious communication with nature. His works have included bathing with lizards, adorning the clothing of strangers, and prostrating himself on icy glaciers: each act represents a ritual of becoming the other.

He has exhibited in shows including the 2006 Bologna International Art Expo in Italy, A Strange Heaven at the Helsinki Museum of Contemporary Art, Bad Girls, Good Girls at Red Foundation in London and Between Past and Future at the New York International Center of Photography. He participated in exhibitions in Spain with the Espace Ample Gallery.] Wikipedia

[The game of exchanging identity can represent an aspect of contemporary culture. It is also a self-questioning exercise in a changeable era. The questioning of identity reflects the possibility of the change in oneself: change to other states or life from the current image, profession, appearance and character. The questioning can be true or false - just like the products promoted in cosmetic and fashion advertising in different seasons to arouse desire and imagination.]

Sorry for the bad quality of the photo but I can only find them on the Internet and the magazine Nouvel Obs. The idea of this artist is amazing, that confirms the proverb “You can’t judge a book by its cover”.

Clothes are a part of our identity? Not so sure…

Certain words must be said

“Things had become impossible between them, and nothing could be salvaged. Certain words must be said. And although each one had said those words silently to herself a hundred times, neither had the courage to say them out loud to one another. So they began to hope that someone else might say the necessary words for them. Perhaps a letter might arrive or a telegram delivered that would say what they could not. Now they spent their days waiting. What else could they do?”

[i know when girls don't talk during lunch that they own a deep pain which is in the meantime their best ally]
