jeux d’enfants... commencé le 2 février 2010, I didn’t know french (except poems from my boyfriend Rimbaud and Baudelaire) and Mathieu didn’t know spanish (except the life of Zapata and EZLN). Currently I resumed french and he already knows a little spanish. A friend on the other side... a friend that one day I hope to see again in Nantes because he always makes me happy (more when we sing). He was twice in Mexico...

What is it? — the artist asked himself involuntary — It’s nature [priroda] all the same, it’s living nature — why, then, this strangely unpleasant feeling? Or else the slavish, literal imitation of nature is already a trespass and seems like a loud, discordant cry? Or else, if you take the subject indifferently, unfeelingly, with no feeling for it, it inevitably stands out only in its terrible reality, not illuminated by the light of some incomprehensible, ever hidden thought, stands out in that reality which is revealed only when, wishing to understand a beautiful man, one arms oneself with an anatomical knife, cuts into the insides, and sees a repulsive man? *

Well, brother, it was not without cause that you wished to burn that portrait. Devil take it, there’s something horrible about it! I don’t believe in sorcerers; but, begging your pardon, there’s an unclean spirit in it.

I made a dérive in Iztapalapa, Mexico city with the composer Manfred Werder. We talked with fire deity and it answered us.

I told him that Dr. Atl was interested in this area because of the extinct volcanoes that are here, also he wanted to make a cultural center in the east, but it didn’t happen.

This place in prehispanic times was a peninsula called, by the figure that was sighted, Ahuizotl (amphibious animal).

Manfred told me that Iztapalapa reminded him of some neighborhoods in Chile and he learned the word: paracaidismo.
