The Chauvet cave, France, the art of prehistory.

In 1994, three friends discovered in the south of France a cave with magnificent cave paintings, more than 30,000 years old.

Under the ground of the Ardèche region, an invaluable treasure is hidden for its antiquity, its conservation and the pictorial quality of the representations; one of the oldest and most splendid examples of Arieñaciense parietal art, dating approx. between 40,000 and 30,000 B.C.

Dancers performing Charles Weidman’s Lynchtown, 1936. Photo by Barbara Morgan

“A portrait of a community consumed by violent passions, it was filled with accusatory gestures, grotesque hoppings and stampings and fierce pursuits. The twisted minds of bigots were symbolized by twisted bodies. Dancers doubled up with rage and when the lynch mob finally dragged in its victim, they gathered about his body as if they were vultures.” - New York Times

Bathtub drain tragedy

Yesterday, while I was taking shower, I watched a ring of hair fighting with and at the same time making love to the ball of foamed water in the drain of my bathtub. It was quite interesting, at least for a minute of watching it I was trying to figure out which one is running away from the other one, which one wants the other one to love them more and not to leave. At the time it was hair, at the time it was the bubbles. Then I stirred and the ball of bubbles appeared to have killed the ring of hair, all of a sudden lying in the drain lifelessly spinning in the dance of playful foam.

But in a short while, the bubbles have died too. I continued to watch, even thought there was nothing so much entertaining to see anymore.

And then, small bundle of watery air balls started to create again. The moment the ring of vicious hair felt the presence of new, almost undecayed, fresh youth, it ressurected its shaggy self with a grand leap over the surprised cluster and thus started making the dance of encagement to the ball of bubbles once more.

I couldn’t watch anymore. I raised the temperature of water, took last half minute of comforting descending veil and got out of the tub.
