What is that you are wanting, looking at that magazine. A small wasp flies down into the scene, its actually a large wasp, it wiggles about, perhaps it's ill or having a bad day. There are plenty of free items about, free to collect, people really want to get rid of things, objects heavy or hard to get out of the door. Get them out of the house so something else can come in. (Published on 9/22/22 1:49 PM)

Rambling

I read an article on my phone, through the RSS reader app, an article published by the Paris Review, an excerpt from a book written by Italo Calvino. He spoke about how simultaneous worlds are existing, a literary world of words that exists independently from the outside world as it is. His description of this world is a flimsy due to its poetics but that doesn't matter as it is only useful in so far as to stimulate the imagination. What Italo's literary world conjured within me was the idea that there is perhaps a slight film between this physical world and others that are brought on through a certain engagement with a format of some kind...This morning, Sunday 8th of January, I perused a market we spoke to a woman selling pictures and paintings of various sorts, an original painting by Yvon Taillandier caught my eye it was bright, with figures wiggling around in their two dimensional plain it was poster advertised some sort of event or exhibition at a university. I think in the year 2000. I just typed 'Yvon Taillandier 2000' in my search engine and I found the piece, it was sold at auction: https://www.ecosia.org/images?q=Yvon%20Taillandier%202000#id=09178C757B031366BB1C79322AB53F08C890E2C6 A cartoon world is called upon to advertise this event or perhaps to decorate the advertisement I wonder if the drawn image of the bodies sitting inside the plane extending and looping down through an open mouth is actually completely separate to the rest of the information that is advertised. "langage psychotique, langage précoce" the naive and childlike is predictably called upon to illustrate infantile mental states. With relation to this Calvino I wonder if the cartoon occupies a realm of sorts, the surface of the paper, portal-like, eyes sucked into the alternate shifting, jolting universe.
