On the streets of solitude

Who says, streets are our most social lively spaces? Maybe. But they are also places of broken dreams, of empty selves, of collective solitude. Taken in the border triangle of Germany, France, Switzerland, the photographs of Michael Nguyen show gloomy cityscapes, cold and bleak: Empty … Continue readingOn the streets of solitude

Frames (ongoing)

We live in frames and we see this world in frames. Frames made of our flesh and bones, of our attachments & possessions. Frames made of social conventions, of our biases, of our prejudices. Frames made of our fear, hatred, and misery. They protect us, … Continue readingFrames (ongoing)

In unknown worlds of the subconscious

Is this world real? Or is it just all in my head? What if what in my head is all that is true? Or maybe all of it, me, you, this world, is just a dream of a butterfly. Or maybe the world of such … Continue readingIn unknown worlds of the subconscious

LONELINESS IN THE REALM OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS

THE WORLD AND EVERYONE WE HAVEN’T KNOW

On the streets, in the museum, on the river banks, in the woods, underground. We meet them everywhere. We don’t talk to them, we just watch them doing whatever they are doing. We don’t ask ourselves what they are thinking or what their lives are … Continue readingTHE WORLD AND EVERYONE WE HAVEN’T KNOW

By the lake, In the forest and in the meadow

The burble of the water stream running through the forest clears our littered mind. The silent but resilient greenery of plants and trees soothes our inner turbulence. This warm, rustling earth always supports our wandering steps. This high blue sky frees us from our mundane … Continue readingBy the lake, In the forest and in the meadow
