This episode will be in English, because we are in Paris. It does not make sense. It is over midnight and my birthday. Today I am 58 – well last week I turned 58. What does it mean? Ironically I am translating another man's poems, and he also turned 58 recently. Is this symmetry or a coincidence? I don't care. Really, I do not. Authority is not something I give value. I am interested in weathering and worn, the process of nothingness. He is asking me if I am not disturbed by doing what others would consider as very different things, but for me they are the same, because I have another center, everything else evaporates compared to what I have in mind.
We are in Paris. We are in Paris again. Maybe we will have to visit The Garden of Luxembourg this time? She said thank you for coming back, my pleasure. We are again here to engage in two larger art events, but we are also just in Paris. We have been here before, and every previous experience is running as a background during our crusade in the city. We are rediscovering the past and venturing into the future.
Although we are here for visual art, we would like to acknowledge literature. We have brought a number of books, long overdue reviews. Therefore we imagine that this episode will include these books, which have no relationship to Paris, but since we are here, Paris might intervene. Paris is just a place. In the train from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Gare du Nord there were so many sleepy people. Is Paris really that exhausting? But we never know what happened earlier. We are only here in an instant,
What can you do in Paris in the evening? Go to musical venues where you have been before, but it is not always the same as the first time you went there. Disappointment can occur. Paradis Latin is one option, the oldest of all the cabarets in Paris, taking place in a building designed by Gustave Eiffel.
The main purpose of our visit in Paris is two different art fairs, but what is art without love, sex and a good story to tell? The good news is we do not really know what we are doing. Until now it has been a success to not have a sense of direction. It gives a particular sense of cloudiness and in the mist important things appear and disappear simultaneously.
