home these days.

Hey diddle diddle,

homethesedays1

The cat and the fiddle,

homethesedays2

The cow …

homethesedays3

… jumped over the moon;

homethesedays2

The little dog laughed …

homethesedays2

… to see such fun,

homethesedays2

And the dish ran away …

homethesedays2

… with the spoon.

The colourful drawing shown in the first and second picture of this rhyme is not my work. I only framed it. It’s made by Haneul Choi, printed on a postcard for an exhibit of South Korean art students at RMIT University in 2007, where I found it. I put it in my bathroom so I can look at it everyday. I like it because it feels like a mockumentary, and tastes like a box of blueberries. I tried emailing Haneul Choi on her/his seventeenth birthday and didn’t receive any reply. I wish her/him well and best of lucks for her/his art studies. May s/he become a great artist one day.

Now. This is where I come for inspiration. For now.

As a result of an auction in Sarah Vanhee's The Great Public Sale of Unrealised But Brilliant Ideas, my bio has become a collective bio:

When they were thirteen, Tintin Wulia and Christiane Berndes wished that Peter Pan would lose his shadow in their neighborhood, because they thought that Peter Pan was kinda sexy. Night after night, they would think a happy thought, wishing that Peter would find them if they could fly. Nothing happened – Tintin and Christiane discovered that Peter had much preferred Wendy.

Three decades later, Tintin and Christiane are still discovering many things. One, that Peter Pan is a fictional character invented by James Matthew Barrie. Two, that the fact that Peter is fictional doesn’t mean that he’s illusory. They are also discovering that, three, it is not a happy thought that one needs to be able to fly – it is, rather, the combination of a passport and a valid visa. And also, four, that the fact that one needs a passport and a valid visa to be able to fly is just shitty.
