(New) Home Do It:
Paint Ball

Take all the color sticks from the box and make out of them one ball. Very quickly your eyes will have to give up seeing separated colors, and will relate only to the touch of the substance: pulverizing, melting, kneading, tightening, compressing. Then you will have to get used to the way of holding the new color, to the change of the act of painting. Your heart will have to accept that the simplest line you will draw is comprised from many shades, spots that are not under your control anymore.

Do you need a photo of the paint ball?


Homeless Do It:
Turn Your Back Around

Sit on the armchair before the TV and turn your back around, maybe to compare the image on the screen with the picture that hangs on the wall. Turn to the big, open window and turn your back around, maybe to confirm the knocks at the door. Turn to the door, but turn back, turning first, from your back, around to where you were.

Sit on the chair before a desk, crowded with papers, words you've left behind, and turn your back around. Have you thought of something new? Turn your back around.

Look for something, maybe you could look for something while you're following me and with your movements drawing a map of my room.

Tell me something then take it back (meanwhile I'll adjust my opinion and put my thoughts together, until something new comes to my mind, to mouth, and is released into the air of the world. Afterwards you can take back your words). |
