words that takes my breath away...

JUAN GRIS


By day give thanks by night beware
sweetness one half of the world
the other showed blind harshness
In the veins a merciless present was read
in the beauties of the contours limited space
cemented all the joinings of familiar objects
Table guitar and empty glass
on an acre of solid earth
of white canvas of nocturnal air
Table had to support itself
lamp to remain a pip of the shadow
newspaper abandoning half of itself
Twice the day twice the night
of two objects a double object
a single whole for ever and ever.

* By Paul Eluard

my images can't nearly compare to the beauty of words...

The Neon God


Here is a new serie of images completed end of 2008

mounted from still photos.


Between documentary and surealism...about migrated teenagers who work in specialized professions unique to Urban China of today. In stead of a realistic portray of the lives of these young kids, artist chose to give them super natural powers like the cartoon figure of NeZha in an ancient Chinese legend. It is utterly romantic, yet the choice of sound accompany the video also bring out a certain level of disturbance.

Let me introduce Youtube channel Shensimilia:

Amael Says

Amael Says
He is no longer shy
And that he drives a black Vespa
Why girls don’t come to him with
Their sunglasses and mini-skirts?

Amael Says
When the band is playing
Which song should he play
With his new grown beard?

But he travels the rooftops of the city
People all call him Chevalier
‘Cause he has the ring of the Lord

Amael Says
That he wants to know
Why it’s though he is the river
He can’t be the port

Amael Says
But doesn’t stop laughing
Who drinks black coffee with Raspberry Tarts?
He is the Chevalier
‘Cause he has the ring of the Lord

People ask “Is Amael back from school”?
But doesn’t top laughing
He is the Chevalier
He drinks black coffee with Raspberry Tart
He is the Chevalier
He travels the rooftops of the city
He is the Chevalier
‘Cause he has the ring of the Lord
He is the Chevalier
‘Cause he has the ring of the lord



* Tribune to all the songs I love which start with "xxx says": Danny Says, Jane Says, Caroline Says, Lisa Says, Candy Says, Stephanie Says....
