sculpture shot

Tuesday hits with a hint of Monday in the back. 

Wednesday skips itself to be another day and, 

Thursday is a reminder of all the rest to come...

Everyday we keep aside our life from our bathroom. 

Even though we face ourselves inside...

Flush away, wash away, just like yourself...

Maybe we need a reminder like a mirror in a cell, 

Just so that you can remember your creases and well,

Now wait, why don't you put a sculpture or two.

You know when you rinse your face in the morning,

You need a distraction like in the news, 

that puts you away from the busy things in our mind. 

So let Monday hit you in the back unconsciously,

And wake up to be Saturday morning so fast...

Look around, you've got all day to remember, that,

That you've got unnecessary things to look at. 

still alive

For those of you who know me as "Charles from the jungle" ....

Well, yeah, that is still alive.

POWER OF PHOTOGRAPHY

you can steal any photo here, its on the internet. 

that's the rule. 

I hope I get credit.

if it makes a difference. 

スカウターでいうところの戦闘力でしょうか。
パウワーが足りないとフリーザが倒せません。

経済戦争という名の強敵に打ち勝つには、パウワー・オブ・写真力が必要だったのです。

しかしそれは９０年代までだったと思います。
現在はプロパガンダよりもテクノロジー（監視）が重要です。
（カメラの進化もそっち方面に向かってってるし。）

しかし、
写真が世論を動かし、歴史の証として存在するかぎり、「なぜ」「なにが」世界に影響を与えるかが大切になってきます。

なにが良くて、なぜ良いのか。

こんな簡単な問いに私たち人はうまく答えられません。

なぜ好きですか。
わかりません。

そんなんでいいのですが、

多くの民衆を惹きつける写真、または万人から好かれる写真というものは存在します。
多くの人が大好きなあの像の写真とか、あの女優の有名な写真とか。
写真力が高い強力な写真は人の目を惹きつけ、記憶に残ります。

そんな写真は意図的に見分けられるのでしょうか？

スカウターを付けてください（心の）。
見えるでしょう？

って、見えねーよWWW

（いや、みえるからね。）

Time has changed and sculpture became an artifact to surprise people. 

This goes deep. 

There were two phenomenons. 

The first was to surprise guests who came to your million dollar house, and maybe get a fuck out of it. 

"Wow its so big"

"It's so beautiful"

The praise became like a venom. A potent energizer that is supposedly poison. 

The movement became so big. 

To own a thing that surprised people at your rich place became a thing. 

And so it came, the second phenomenon, on the television. And everyone, had to have something to show after watching that show. 

Today, art is status. 

Status that you're so IN. 

Educated, flawed and superficial. You believe money can buy anything. That's why when there's no more cars to entertain yourself, you go art. Cuz people don't know Chagall or Cezanne, because you gotta be at least been at an western Uni to encounter these names. But Basquiat became so common after all the rap music started singing. 

Delusional and lost, we wander the street. 

What shit did ever make sense?

It's better, let's put it this way, to look at Alien Poop sculptures than chasing the superficial movement that is called Art today.
