ask. record. transcribe. analyze.

when you’re always coordinating, you end up missing out.

stranger wish: somebody with blue hair. who works in the service industry… that’ll be a challenge.

nous étions étrangers.
nous le somme maintenant encore plus.

un thé renversé. un devoir tâché. une tarification incessante. un service en déclin. des communautés isolées. la pornographie des âmes.

souhait étranger: quelqu’un de dynamique… quelqu’un qui n’est pas ‘straight’. évites complètement le monde ‘straight’.

destination knows no time. you travel onwards for 24 hours and time moves with you. smile through it.

stranger wish: another nationality. not australian. not canadian. just… another.

wewerestrangers remixed.

turned my life around. try to live it to the best of my abilities.
there’s the 60 second version and the 10 minute version and anywhere in between. which do you want?

stranger wish: find me somebody with a goatee. they used to be all the rage. now they’re almost extinct.

final minutes of a year of searching, hunting, pushing, striving, forcing, resisting, releasing, allowing, seeing, being.

final minutes of a project that is not meant to end quite yet.

a project that is not a project.

a project that is existence.

an existence that transcends the self.

an existence better lived.

avec toi.
avec tout le monde.

just a farm girl
never exposed to art
but it comes from within
this generosity of spirit
and it’ll never blink

and that’s why we continue
always
