I- OBL and his Court

III - Sky Under Surveillance

 

Rumors accumulate in OBL's Court. They are leaving marks on the walls.

The sky balconies peel off, ceilings are shattering, walls are destroyed, the pillars fall from the top, and remains a sky... under surveillance, a prelude to a dismantling.

Fleeing shadows come from window-screens and a building's shell holes. The long shadows hunt starts in a painting.

Weaving has stopped. The head of a woman in the painting peels off from the Court and hides in the shadow of... the back of the wall, in the entrance of the cavern.

It is a background matter. The white is untouchable. The sky is untouchable.

Non-stop monitoring cameras are recording the random appearances of shadows on the wall.

The elevated sky goes down to the ground, and dissolves with reality. Borders are blurred. I perceive remains of shadows.

The sky is composing shadows on the canvas, writing its own memories.

Scenes of a sky that slips...

A painting storage room shelters the archives where shadows have been collected. A gate opens. It leads to the sky archives projected over the long narrow tunnel.

This is my long personal story with painting in parallel with the destruction of a sky or... some reconstruction.
