Working on SB6…

While I process the 7 zillions images I took at paris FW, Here are some extra images I had made at Boris Bijan Saberi’s performance in Berlin. As you will notice, they were shot on film, hence the delay in their publishing. I quite like forgetting rolld in my bag and re–discovering images later. It reminds me of a trauma I had as a kid, actually (not a too bad one, but one nonetheless): my father had found that I had got enough presents for Xmas, so he decided that some of them would not be given right away but later that year. Probably thinking that I would be really happy to get them then. When I finally got them back, later that year, not even, was all the excitement gone, but I discovered that the presents were really boring ones.

i have 200 images of today’s Mugler show. It will take me a couple of days to process them.
Here is just Jason farrer and his freind whose name I have forgotten, Rico & Nicola, and Dario (not in that order).

I am unsure whether there is anything I can say now about this that will not be said 20 billion times in the near future anyway. So I rather not say anything except: <3 (But that's not exactly "saying" something, is it?)

Some say abuse takes the best parts of us.

A recent conversation with Marie-Caroline Hominal and François Chaignaud (related in Novembre, Issue 2) led me to a much recurrent thought: public bodies.

Vito Acconci told that among the Marxist beliefs he had espoused in the 1970s but still felt compelled by was the conviction that the rejection of the value of private property should begin with a changed attitude to your own body, with the radical readiness to understand this body and self as public and political, 24/7.

The refusal to claim your potentials as private property and the will to allow them to be used, exhausted or abused by others, implies a generosity that to me, however, has little to do with moral altruism. It seems rather more driven by an unrestrained desire to enjoy and be enjoyed by others. A way to connect it all, the whole world. Sweet soul of abuse. Always exhibited, and forever owned. Always flying, and forever falling.
