I am fully equipped for the highly emotional experience. I disappear deeper and deeper into the landscape, with the
frustrations opening in the subtle and repetitive rhythm of empty images and voices. Everything is short, clean, just the
basics. I travel through the emotional labyrinths that emerge from the intestines of closed networks. I share the rhythm of
these parallel, flickering landscapes revealed in front of me, intriguing me, seducing me with their spaceless speech and
imagery. No emotion, just a glimpse of it, no feeling, just the pain of it, no happiness, just the sound of it, no talk, just the
word of it, no passion, just the climax of it. The intimate landscapes play with my illusions of possession and
boundlessness, surprising me with their inner history and touching me with their surprising analogies. A structure of liquid
emotion, a fusion of the visible and the invisible. The bonds between the incongruities and spanned incommensurables
may seem playful, but they are not innocent. Playfulness is just a mask for a very serious adventure taking place at the
intimate landscapes. There is a clear threat of emotional attachment. Who provokes me and who gets provoked? Who fills
me with lust and who is lustful? Who is dynamic and who is frozen? Danger resides in the intimate dismals, personal
dismemberment.
