PACK/UNPACK/PACK
by gato_gato on April 23, 2006



i remember as if it was yesterday...
the little stuff, the most necessary
i boxed to move into a tiny room in adam
back in march 2004...

for a month i could not stop crying and took
the first plane to rio, to treat myself all the ways.

back there, still the loads of my real stuff remained boxed down south, including zeca (unboxed, fortunatelly)

after a year, i was able to go pick up my stuff but it was then ( i did not realize) time to move back to my home land. my life had literally turned into hell.
zeca to berlin, most of the stuff i had gathered went to the streets. i did not even registered that, it was then too painful and had not time to deal with it properly.
now, i wish i had made fotos of the whole thing...

to be continued...

more of you
more of me
:D

after packing those silly 4 boxes last night
(and realizing i had at least 100 more to go, in the studio alone)
i thought i really should have thrown more out...

and i think i will when it comes to the everyday/household/clothes category
but
i do have the luxury of keeping it
and so much of my work is about collage, amassing, building. layering
that i feel i must honor that

this is why the documenting makes sense;
because, i know to really make good work,
i have to honor "me"
as insane as that
(& she) might seem sometimes
