Best line imho of this vid is, you look to the real sun and light and get on with your life.
Supporting DV survivors to stop looking to the abuser to know how to behave and to reconnect with themselves and their own desires takes time, but it's a beautiful process to witness.

Happy to have arrived at Schießl-Haus in Kollnburg for an artist residency with the wonderful Mariia Mytrofanova & Zayse.

Currently getting the library sorted for my project focusing on ideals of the broken.

Starting point is the book ‘The Ideal of the Broken’ by the philosopher Alfred Sohn-Rethel, in which he emphasized that the phase in which we start to modify things is the time when technology becomes interesting. He even goes so far as to say that this is where the technology actually starts to work. In his book, he focuses on the technology of the Neapolitans, whom he encounters using a car engine to make coffee or starting their car with a piece of wood. One of the conclusions he draws is that “the essence of Technology [lies] in the functioning of the broken” (Sohn-Rethel, 1990, p.33). Thus the meaning of a device is (also) failure, damage, repair, reuse.

The aim of my residency project is to consider failure as form of resistance to the artefacts' function in the global cycle of production and economic relations. Apparent in obsolete, defective or broken everyday objects and people's stories going along with them, potentially revealing them as emotional and intellectual companions that can preserve memories, sustain relationships and provoking various forms of usage.

Neurosis is ... being at war with oneself. Everything that accentuates this ... makes the patient worse, and everything that mitigates it tends to heal the patient. What drives people to war with themselves is the ... knowledge that they consist of two persons in opposition.... The conflict may be between the sensual and the spiritual man, or between the ego and the shadow. It is what Faust means ...: "Two souls, alas, dwell in my breast apart."

INDIAN SUMMER
By Dorothy Parker

In youth, it was a way I had
To do my best to please,
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know,
And do the things I do;
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you!
