" ...ONLY IN ART DOES IT STILL HAPPEN THAT A MAN WHO IS CONSUMED BY DESIRES PERFORMS SOMETHING RESEMBLING THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THOSE DESIRES AND THAT WHAT HE DOES IN PLAY PRODUCES EMOTIONAL EFFECTS - THANKS TO ARTISTIC ILLUSION - JUST AS THOUGH IT WERE SOMETHING REAL. PEOPLE SPEAK WITH JUSTICE OF THE "MAGIC OF ART" AND COMPARE ARTISTS TO MAGICIANS. ..."

Because of the problems in Kashmir the past summer due to a piece of land that was supposed to be given for the Amarnath pilgrims, the BJP ( Hindu Fundamentamist Party) called for a strike and suddenly Pushkar was empty, quiet and closed. One shop remained half-opened.

Bugia...


Bugia..., originally uploaded by Jacopo Gennari.

Ho bisogno di dire delle bugie, ma non per vivere meglio, ma per andare in una terza, quarta dimensione, che è quella dell'irreale e dell'immaginario, del fantastico, dell'affascinante, del sensuale, l'erotismo del pensiero che non è assolutamente bianco o nero...

Geleceğim bazen uykudayken sen ...

Geleceğim bazen, uykudayken sen
Beklenmedik uzak bir konuk gibi
Sokakta bir başıma koyma beni
Kapıyı sürgüleme üstümden.
Usulca girecek bir yere ilişeceğim
Bir zaman, karanlıkta, bakacağım yüzüne
Görüntün doyasıya dolunca gözlerime
Seni kucaklayacak ve çıkıp gideceğim...
