Lilly Anne and the Fish Parade

There isnt another person worth admiring as much as mr. Joe Sorren.
He says:
“I’ve always felt like there’s this other world that I visit. I’m lucky enough to be able to go to this other place and witness this stuff …In a way, I feel like I’m a photographer of that world…"
And I tell you this mr. Sorren. Your work, your portraits of Jack and Francis and Lilly Anne and her Fish Parade, your characters with multiple, overlapping fingers, befriending protective monsters and observing skiing butterflies in the sky, are part of a world we all -Miss Trunchbulls included- once used to visit.
So damn your "privilege" as you call it & bless you for at least providing us with photographic documentation.

Wrap

Flicking through this month's issue of National Geographic, a man appeared on one of the pages wrapped up in orange fabric, tied around with string, his eye-less glasses left to perch on the outside. His name was Christo and had met his partner Jeanne Claude in Paris, 48 years ago.
Christo & Jeanne Claude, I find out, are an art-duo. They "borrow space and create gentle disturbances".

"Artists of the past have created works in bronze, in marble, in fresco, in oil, even with televisions, they have created works that have been mythological or religious or portraits of landscapes. But there is one quality they have never used and that is the quality of love and tenderness that we human beings have for what will not last. We have love and tenderness for childhood and for our own lives because we know they will not last. And so we wish our work of art to be once in a lifetime and never again".
