ARI MARCOPOULOS WORDS



...CURTAINLESS WINDOWS IN A CALVINIST COUNTRY WERE THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS I SAW, 3-D PSYCHOLOGY REDUCED TO A 2D SELECTION. THE WINDOW FRAME THE FIRST LESSON, THE PROTESTANT DISPLAY OF A LIFE UNTAINTED. BUT EVEN A CHILD CAN SEE THE CRACKS OF A WIFE LEFT FOR WEEKS BY A FLYING HUSBAND. ELIZABETH TAYLORESQUE IN A PEIGNOIR ALL DAY SIPPING SHERRY'S, THE FIRST EROTIC IMAGE. HER KIDS OBVIOUSLY IGNORED. THE TRUE PROTESTANT NEIGHBOR'S CHILDREN PRESSED WITH THEIR NOSES AGAINST THE WINDOW AS WE PLAYED SOCCER, POTHOLE COVERS AS GOALS. AJAX!!!!!! WHITE JERSEY & A RED STRIPE. BEAT LIVERPOOL 5-1 IN THE FOG. ONLY A SMALL PATCH OF NATURE ON THE CORNER. WE CALLED IT THE FOREST, BUT ON REVISITING MY HOMETOWN, CLEARLY THE FOREST WAS NOW HOME TO 2 SMALL ONE-FAMILY HOMES WITH TINY YARDS. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL TO THINK THAT AS A CHILD, MY FRIENDS & I THOUGHT OF THIS ONE UNDEVELOPED CORNER IN THE SUBURBS AS THE FOREST. WE WERE COWBOYS & INDIANS, KNIGHTS. WILHELM TELL, ROBIN HOOD, IVANHOE, HEROES THAT GLOWED OUT OF THE BLACK & WHITE TELEVISION IN OUR LIVING ROOM. NOW I LIVE IN A BIG FOREST PERHAPS APPRECIATING THE TREES LESS. ONE ALWAYS SEEMS TO NEED OTHER’S EYES TO REALLY SEE.

THE DECAY OF THE ANGEL






IN THE PINK OFFING, THE DIM FORM OF DAICHU-MARU WAS EDGING PAST THE OKITA-MARU, LEAVING THE HARBOR. IT WAS A STRANGE MOMENT WHEN THE IMAGE OOZES FROM THE DREAM INTO EVERYDAY LIFE, AN ACTUALITY FROM ABSTRACTION – A POEM BECOMES CORPORATE, A PHANTASY AN OBJECT. IF SOMETHING MEANINGLESS YET OMINOUS IS THROUGH SOME PROCESS TAKEN INTO THE HEART, THERE IS BORN IN THE HEART AN URGENCY TO GIVE IT A SHAPE, & SO SOMETHING COMES TO EXIST. PERHAPS THE DAICHU-MARU WAS BORN OF TORU’S HEART. AN IMAGE INDISTINCT AS THE SWEEP OF A BRUSH HAD BECOME A GIGANTIC HULL OF SOME FOUR THOUSAND TONS. & THE SAME THING WAS FOREVER HAPPENING SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD / YUKIO MISHIMA

RAINER MARIA RILKE





15

ALL OF YOU UNDISTURBED CITIES
HAVEN'T YOU EVER LONGED FOR THE ENEMY?
I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU BESIEGED BY HIM
FOR TEN ENDLESS & GROUND SHAKING YEARS.

UNTIL YOU WERE DESPERATE & MAD WITH SUFFERING;
FINALLY IN HUNGER YOU WOULD FEEL HIS WEIGHT.
HE LIES OUTSIDE THE WALLS LIKE A COUNTRYSIDE.
& HE KNOWS VERY WELL HOW TO ENDURE
LONGER THAN THE ONES THAT HE COMES TO VISIT.

CLIMB UP ON YOUR ROOFS & LOOK OUT:
HIS CAMP IS THERE, & HIS MORALE DOESN'T FALTER,
HIS NUMBERS DO NOT DECREASE; HE WILL NOT GROW WEAKER,
& HE SENDS NO ONE INTO THE CITY TO THREATEN
OR PROMISE, & NO ONE TO NEGOTIATE.

HE IS THE ONE WHO BREAKS DOWN ALL WALLS,
& WHEN HE WORKS, HE WORKS IN SILENCE.

CZESLAW MILOSZ





..WHEN IN A SULTRY NIGHT SHOT WITH LIGHTNINGS THE PLANE IS LANDING AT BEAUVAIS OR KALAMAZOO
& A STEWARDESS MOVES ABOUT QUIETLY SO NOT TO WAKE ANYONE WHILE THE CELLULAR WAX OF CITIES GLIMMERS BENEATH
I BELIEVED I WOULD UNDERSTAND BUT IT IS LATE & I KNOW NOTHING EXCEPT LAUGHTER & WEEPING
THE WET GRASSES OF FERTILE DELTAS CLEANSED ME FROM TIME & CHANGED ALL INTO A PRESENT WITHOUT BEGINNING OR END

JUSTINE






..NOW TIRED MEN THROW BACK THE SHUTTERS & STEP BLINKING INTO THE PALE HOT LIGHT – ETIOLATED FLOWERS OF AFTERNOONS SPENT IN ANGUISH, TOSSING UPON UGLY BEDS, BANDAGED BY DREAMS. I HAVE BECOME ONE OF THESE POOR CLERKS OF THE CONSCIENCE, A CITIZEN OF ALEXANDRIA. SHE PASSES BELOW MY WINDOW, SMILING AS IF AT SOME PRIVATE SATISFACTION, SOFTLY FANNING HER CHEEKS WITH A LITTLE REED FAN. IT IS A SMILE WHICH I SHALL PROBABLY NEVER SEE AGAIN FOR IN COMPANY SHE ONLY LAUGHS, SHOWING THOSE MAGNIFICENT WHITE TEETH. BUT THIS SAD YET QUICK SMILE IS FULL OF A QUALITY WHICH ONE DOES NOT THINK SHE OWNS – THE POWER OF MISCHIEF. YOU WOULD HAVE SAID THAT SHE WAS OF A MORE TRAGIC CAST OF CHARACTER & LACKED COMMON HUMOR. ONLY THE OBSTINATE MEMORY OF THIS SMILE IS TO MAKE ME DOUBT IN THE DAYS TO COME

SOPHIE RISTELHUEBER







SOPHIE RISTELHUEBER'S WORK HAS BEEN A GREAT PERSONAL INFLUENCE. HER IMAGES OF INCREDIBLY DEEP BEAUTY CARRY DARK STORIES OF DESTRUCTION & VIOLENCE YET SHE ALWAYS MANAGES TO AVOID THE VULGARITY OF THE DOCUMENTARY WAR PHOTOGRAPHY. THIS IMAGE COMES FROM FAIT, A SERIES SHE HAS SHOT IN KUWAIT JUST AFTER THE IRAQI TROOPS RETIRED LEAVING OIL FIELDS BURN THE DESERT. SOME 20 YEARS AGO SHE HAS SEEN WHAT I WAS TOO YOUNG TO SEE
