Simple Means


"To a considerable extent, the representation of the atom accepted at this moment is nothing more than a simple means, graphic even while subject to revision, enabling the scientist to put together and to show the non-contradiction of the ever more various 'effects' manifested by matter - many of which, moreover, have still no recognisable prolongation in man."
(excerpt from Chardin, The Phenomenon of Man)

Simplest Elements

"To push anything back into the past is equivalent to reducing it to its simplest elements. Traced as far back as possible in the direction of their origins, the last fibres of the human aggregate are lost to view and are merged in our eyes with the very stuff of the universe."
(excerpt from Chardin, The Phenomenon of Man)

The Dodi Zone.....

Okay so normally I would put something related to prose/poetry for each image but this is just too weird.... it's a wax sculpture of Dodi who owns Harrod's in Knightsbridge, London and it's (or do I say he?) standing in the store overlooking the men's wear department!!! Tell me this isn't strange......

Mad generation


"Breakthroughs! over the river! flips and crucifixions! gone down the flood! Highs! Epiphanies! De- spairs! Ten years'animal screams and suicides! Minds! New loves! Mad generation! down on the rocks of Time! Real holy laughter in the river! They saw it all! the wild eyes!"
(excerpt from Howl. A. Ginsberg)

Brand New Dance

" There's a brand new dance but I don't know its name
That people from bad homes do again and again
It's big and it's bland full of tension and fear
They do it over there but we don't do it here

Fashion! Turn to the left
Fashion! Turn to the right
Oooh, fashion!"
(excerpt from D. Bowie)

Euphoria


"As I approach the state of pure euphoria
they are bulding all the cities now
on only one side of the street
and my shoes walk up sides of buldings
leaving tracks of windows...."
