Mort

The fourth line in the poem, Fig.4 installation says, “04 Red Shift. La vie des étoiles n’est pas la nôtre. Leurs morts tapissent le fond des temps.”.

Boiled in oil and pierced with thin needles. Cut with silver daggers and burned in crucibles. Peeled off the skin, inch by inch. This was how executioners and judges handled pagans and witches in 16th century France. From 1560 to 1630, over 60,000 accused European witches died in the largest witch hunt in recorded history: the Great Witch Craze. Women especially were accused for a myriad of illogical reasons: being angry with a neighbor whose livestock fell ill or speaking out against the…

As of today, I am in my opinion, one of the few people who still has a free will. Almost everyone else around me, blindly follows orders.

He argued that cinema too was a language, ‘a form in which and by which an artist can express his thoughts, however abstract they may be, or translate his obsessions exactly as he does in a…
