Description (Dreck Unter dem Nagel?)
/// The Distance between.. you and me; or me and you
2014, the painting is from 2013




///Death In June - Nothing Changes
Nothing changes, It only gets worse
Nothing changes, Waiting for a hearse
There is no hope, Escape is a hoax
The pressure's building, And I just can't cope.
Now and forever, Nothing changes.
It only gets worse, Nothing changes
Waiting for a hearse, There is no hope
Escape is a hoax And we're the punchline
To a Splengler's joke.
Now and forever, Nothing changes...



///Sybille Baier - Forgett; 1973
////Tom Waits - Bad as me

Bad as me

You're the head on the spear
You're the nail on the cross
You're the fly in my beer
You're the key that got lost
You're the letter from Jesus on the bathroom wall
You're mother superior in only a bra
You're the same kind of bad as me

I'm the hat on the bed
I'm the coffee instead
The fish or cut bait
I'm the detective up late
I'm the blood on the floor
The thunder and the roar
The boat that won't sink
I just won't sleep a wink
You're the same kind of bad as me

No good you say
Well that's good enough for me

You're the wreath that caught fire
You're the preach to the choir
You bite down on the sheet
But your teeth have been wired
You skid in the rain
You're trying to shift
You're grinding the gears
You're trying to shift
And you're the same kind of bad as me

They told me you were no good
I know you'll take care of all my needs
You're the same kind of bad as me

I'm the mattress in the back
I'm the old gunnysack
I'm the one with the gun
Most likely to run
I'm the car in the weeds
If you cut me I'll bleed
You're the same kind of bad as me
You're the same kind of bad as me

Hah, I thought it was. That's strange!


Nope, I've deleted the most drawings/paintings from that period. Maybe I'll reupload it somewhen.

Thought so But no, I think it adds some sort of honesty to the photo. Don't ask me why Β 
Well I hope you'll upload that particular painting somewhen then Β

This creates a sense of yearning. Your dirty fingernails emphasize your separation from the posh scene in the painting. Combined with the point of view composition, I imagine you're looking up from the metaphorical grave you just dug yourself out of.Β Maybe you're at the tail end of a three-day-drunk, haven't bathed recently and your steadying yourself as you rise from the floor where you passed out earlier that afternoon; waxing poetic as you share a smoke with a memory.Β

Like for me this is great idea and to this very good realized.

Past is how dream... how effacing traceΒ after us.

I agree, there is no past. The only time that truly exists is the moment we are in. By the time you read this the moment I wrote it will not exist anymore. But thankfully that means, there's not really a future either.Β

is and isn't
so isn't
how it could be then...
retention time on the photo or double retention time too.
when I look at this photo I see one past, one past, and one present continues because hand, and one present continues from the past from her (where past is closer to your present) but for now present continues isn't there, not for you, not for the person in frame, it was only when you took the photo, so now I writing about past, which isn't for you.. what exactly... for you " There's No Past"
for me as watcher.. past is there, but also isn't if title from the photo notifies me about it.
and that's great !

we can think about all around whatever we want, but at own risk.

Very effective, Iskaeldt, parralel, reflection, echo...
Smoke as a link between two worlds.
Symbol of passions, pains that consume.

I love Death in June! Your photo makes me think about one of the "smoking" Tom Wait's song - not exactly sure which oneΒ

Really, the mood of Tom Waits's songs is similar to your works

No past, but present memories. I think you may be the master of conceptual photography.

Agree with you


Oh that's kind of you! But I guess I really suck at it. Maybe I've interesting ideas, but they're not well executed.

You're your greatest judge, but no one else can see the "not so well executed part". Plus, it's all about the message bottled in a shape.
