member of:Observers of the Interdependence of Domestic Objects and Their Influence on Everyday Life


This group has been active for a long time and has already made some remarkable assertions which render life simpler from the practical point of view. For example, I move a pot of green color five centimeters to the right, I push in the thumbtack beside the comb and if Mr. A (another adherent like me) at this moment puts his volume about bee-keeping beside a pattern for cutting out vests, I am sure to meet on the sidewalk of the avenida Madero a woman who intrigues me and whose origin and address I never could have known...

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison: Another silent post



A bizarre and surreal past/ future world. A husband and wife team using theater, collage, photography, and whatever else comes in handy to create their images. They say on their site that they are exploring the future world, an environment decimated by man's abuse, but the thing that stands out to me is the heroic magic of the man contending with that environment.
Enjoy,
Thanks to Pequenos Nadas on Imeem for the playlist.
