Who am I?

If there is light only at the end of the tunnel, how the fuck everybody knows, its a tunnel?


If time and space are the most fundamental dimensions of our universe, why can i buy 20 square metrers of land, but i cant buy 20 minutes of life?

Why men have nipples?

Who invented the invention?

Why everybody wonders, whether the egg or the hen was first, and nobody gives a shit about the rooster?

I do not see it lately, because somebody turned off the light. Maybe I forgot to pay the bill, maybe the bill has forgotten to be paid. This way or the other, im in this wonderful moment of my life, when creation seems contradictory to observation of reality, where nothing really is created, rather everything roams in a dumb circle of days and nights. The meter on deviantart shows, that there are millions of new deviations, and every second a new deviation is born. My feeling of individuality is hampered by this meter, mu obssesion for seeking something unique is stopped by observation of an avalanche of bright ideas, thoughts, concepts. Perhaps, the time has come to such a spot, when only silence remains the only way of artistic expression, not shared with hundreds of other individuals? ]]> ~Yossarian24 http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/8265690/ http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/8265690/ Sat, 25 Mar 2006 13:53:41 PST so i will rhyme them.

I have been silent lately
cause i didnt have too much time
cause i am working
as hard as a lime

i am a teacher
in a high, high school
my pupils hate me
and i think its cool

but in close future
as close as the sun
i will come back
and with my photos stun

the zebra is hungry
the rose is red
time came to finish
and go to bed**

Suddenly the night has grown colder.
The god of love preparing to depart.
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
They slip between the sentries of the heart.

Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
And radiant beyond your widest measure
They fall among the voices and the wine.

It’s not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust –
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.

Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
Do not say the moment was imagined;
Do not stoop to strategies like this.

As someone long prepared for this to happen,
Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.
Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing.
Your firm commitments tangible again.

And you who had the honor of her evening,
And by the honor had your own restored –
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving;
Alexandra leaving with her lord.

Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
Do not say the moment was imagined;
Do not stoop to strategies like this.

As someone long prepared for the occasion;
In full command of every plan you wrecked –
Do not choose a coward’s explanation
that hides behind the cause and the effect.

And you who were bewildered by a meaning;
Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed –
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.

Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.

I really admire many of these pictures. They say a lot to me. ]]> ~Yossarian24 http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/5644719/ http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/5644719/ Tue, 14 Jun 2005 09:06:53 PDT
No.

So, there is no conceptual photography, or saying it milder, every photo can be or can be not conceptual. It just requires some attitude.

"Conceptual art is an art, which concentrates more on the process of creation, the thought of the author implemented in the work" splendid! but i do not think, while making a picture... rarely anyone does have time to think in 1/500 of a second. the process of creation is too short for a thought to be born. The thought must come earlier, or after the work is born.

So i have a concept, and i put it into a picture...
not really. I cant put thoughts into matter. I cant make others think. I rarely think,that my thought will be fully understood, or that i had a ready made thought before making a picture. There is something of my concept in the photo,but part of it is taken away by the fact, that what i make doesnt look like the thing i had in my mind. some is also hidden, because you dont know me.

So...im not a conceptual artist per se. not really. Im as often conceptual, as often you think of some meaning. of the end of a sentence i have started in my work, the shard of my thought taken up by your imagination to be slightly metaphorical. There is more work demanded on the part of the reciever i guess. Conceptual art is lazy art, waiting for others to do the thinking

...

Now, was I ironical? ]]> ~Yossarian24 http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/5585709/ http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/5585709/ Wed, 08 Jun 2005 03:26:27 PDT And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

O quam te memorem virgo…



Stand on the highest pavement of the stair—
Lean on a garden urn—
Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair—
Clasp your flowers to you with a pained surprise—
Fling them to the ground and turn
With a fugitive resentment in your eyes:
But weave, weave the sunlight in your hair.

So I would have had him leave,
So I would have had her stand and grieve,
So he would have left
As the soul leaves the body torn and bruised,
As the mind deserts the body it has used.
I should find
Some way incomparably light and deft,
Some way we both should understand,
Simple and faithless as a smile and shake of the hand.

She turned away, but with the autumn weather
Compelled my imagination many days,
Many days and many hours:
Her hair over her arms and her arms full of flowers.
And I wonder how they should have been together!
I should have lost a gesture and a pose.
Sometimes these cogitations still amaze
The troubled midnight and the noon’s repose.

Eliot, Prufrock and Other Observations. 1917) ]]> ~Yossarian24 http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/5061921/ http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/5061921/ Mon, 11 Apr 2005 15:37:17 PDT ~Yossarian24 http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4980802/ http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4980802/ Sat, 02 Apr 2005 15:32:10 PST ~Yossarian24 http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4865973/ http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4865973/ Sun, 20 Mar 2005 18:47:37 PST 1. approach the unindentified animal.
2. check for luggage compartments in the area, occupied by the animal.
3. if u fail the check, or encounter rather slimy and stinking compartments, its not a cangooroo.
4. retreat in an apologetic stance.

This should help you, and, maybe, enable me to make some new pictures.

By the way, i'd like to wish you all Happy Easter. I must do it now, because in a couple of days ill be totally busy cleaning windows. I dont know why, but people in my country always clean windows before Easter. A year ago i didnt clean my windows, and my neighbours stopped talking to me. It was even worse, than the face of the priest once, when he saw that i painted all eggs black. I couldnt convinve him that its a very old dark-existentialist tradition. Well anyway, i wish you all the best, and have lots of fun.


*and also, because i hardly distinguish salt from pepper. It took me 15 years to discover, that sugar actually tastes better, when you dont mix it with flour, salt and white, greasy furniture cleaner.
**i dont know whether i spelled that correctly, but what i meant is a large, jumping animal with a backpack, which is not in back, but in front...a frontpack so to say. It tastes like chicken. ]]> ~Yossarian24 http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4668284/ http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4668284/ Fri, 25 Feb 2005 07:27:05 PST
Oink Oink.

Thank you.


*not this world of course. Harmony and world of human exsitence is such a good connection as a toilet cleaner and a small child. I do believe though that the world of non-self-aware forks and spoons is very harmonious. ]]> ~Yossarian24 http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4493202/ http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4493202/ Fri, 04 Feb 2005 03:00:27 PST In Japanese asethetics the unfinished, incomplete, imperfect are categories above the categories of european aesthetics like symetry, proportion, unity. Considering this as a metaphore for conceptual art, the artist who encloses his thought in the work must be aware of many possible ways it will be percieved. The work, created by an artist is unfinished. It's like a puzzle which lacks some elements, put into their places by the observer. In my opinion, as a strong supporter of sartrian aesthetics, the artist is obliged to leave freedom to the observer. To share freedom, as Sartre states, is an impossible task, but to accept the fact that others are free, that they percieve the world in a different way, makes the artist obliged not to impose the idea on them - his role is to provoke the observer to finish the story himself using his own imagination. Summing this together, the role of conceptual is to show an idea, is to start a sentence about the truth, allowing though, in silence, this sentence to be finished by the one who closes the artist-work-oberver triangle.
Is there art that doesnt give freedom to the observer ? Im afraid there is a lot of it. Its everywhere, where the idea of others overcome the concept of the artist, where the personal freedom is overwhelmed by a trend, a fashion. The artist who represents not an idea, but ideology, doesnt allow others to finish the sentence - its already finished in the moment he starts his creation. Im also convinced, that art, which bases on very stron negative feelings, art which primarly wants to shock the observer, to provoke by assaulting what has not yet been assaulted, doesnt allow us to say much. Shocked, terrified by sightings of pain, aggression, blood and masochism we rarely think - we feel terror, fear, aggression - feelings which dont go very well with my concept of experiencing art.
Every theory, as Kripke said, has a fatal disadvantage - its false. The falsity of a theory doesnt mean though that the practise must lead nowhere. In an evloutionary world, a start based on false paradigm can lead to a new way of understanding (or not understaning ) one's situation in the world. My concept of art, dictated to me only by Sartre, would certainly lead nowhere. Starting from the freedom it searches, concentrating on the major role of imagination as the main tool of art one can discover his own truth though, his own, personal, unsharable freedom, which he can put into his works, to let others start their own.

Im very interested what you think about this small article, and waiting eagerly for your suggestions and critique. ]]> ~Yossarian24 http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4371380/ http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4371380/ Thu, 20 Jan 2005 17:59:24 PST 1. ontogogical - using a big amount of scepticism i rejected the possibility of the being being constiututed on matteria - my reasoning was actually so convincing that i disappeared, and it took me like a month to find a weak point in my argumentation and come back to my physical form. I still cant find my right... arm.
2. missing elements problem - i lack female models, empty houses with poor furniture, big seawaves, scales, 27 nails with an anvil and hammer, angels wings, a skull, a scythe, a black robe, an old man with long white beard, a triangle, a bird cage with a pigeon, a big wardrobe, a large mirror, and a glass thing with sand inside Without these, i cant go on with some of my concepts. If u happen to have some of these, scream. I know this combination of elements clearly signifies that im close to being insane, but i never said that im normal. In fact, 27% of my hamster friends also suffer from mental disorders.
3. Ive met a wonderful girl, and i fell in love with her. She is of exceptional beauty, wisdom and charm. Being filled with an exceptional amount of love i badly neglected all my previous hobbies and duties, just to be able to spend more time with her - that is, with her picture, casue i dont know her address and i didnt see her yet, so if anyone can help me with that, ill be very thankful. I think her name was Angelina Judy or maybe Joulie or something like that ]]> ~Yossarian24 http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4133124/ http://Yossarian24.deviantart.com/journal/4133124/ Thu, 23 Dec 2004 03:46:44 PST
P.S. for thos of you who get annoyed by to0 long journal updates, here is a shorter version: its better to be good all the time, than once a year.

This move has been done under long consideration, meditaiton, heavy drinking and 4 hours of I-cing reading, so i know it was worth it. If you think the other way, pick up a stone from the ground and put it into your left nosehole, this way youll forget about your gallery doubts and concentrate on a more important matter. If you think my idea was great, remove a snail from the sidewalk the next time you encounter one, instead of stepping on it. The fact that ive made changes in my gallery doesnt have anything in common with the sudden raise of value of pigeons meat on eastern eurpean markets.
