Wiping it out lovely,
The video on the screen shows a mural painting,
?see love wate(r) see? written on the walls of a broken house
I found love and water, in a waste container in Vienna,
a few days before travelling to Creta with a thick brush and well diluted black paint.
The teacher induced the kids to paint the letters with a soft brush
in order to enhance their sensitivity for the subject.
I saw Julius Koller?s paintings a few years ago in a gallery.
I had met him before in 2003 at the Venice Biennale when I was painting benches white.
school atlas
the western part of Europe, colorfull and bright
a thick grey line, the iron curtain.
There behind, undefined, wasteland.
Those kind of imprints last long.
In spite of the geographical vicinity, I still feel Bratislava connoted by an unratable distance.
#murales#muralpainting#poetry#lovewatersee#Heraklion#dienstagabend#lovecreta#love#
The image dandles with the melody ... see love water see ... see love water sea ...
I painted ?see? three times, ?love? and ?wate?
the R is missing on the wall.
With Edding on the screen, I?m writing ?A? over the ?e? of two ?see?s?
and add ?R? to the ?wate?
May I wipe it out,
seems to be daring.
Recently at the bar, I had gone for the pissoir
A guy came to me and gentily asked,
May I wash my hands?
2+1 for free
on my way home
I?m crossing the bridge, a young lady yells.
Yellow paper rolls all over the ground
happy helping hands
(wipe it out, Sharif 2018)
