FiftyFive ~ # 27

And another Icarus - or is it a blue angel? Folon called it Les Oiseaux so it is definitely feathered and is that an egg he his holding (or offering). Either way I adore it too - he has a way of capturing ideas that I really like because they are never obvious - in that French way, although he is Belgian (should be was for he died). And then such joy because I stumbled across this little film and the serendipity of it is wonderful - all those men flying and if you follow the last to fall his initial is A and it is a strange coincidence, is it not? But today I post two pieces of music both dedicated to the Folon idea of life - one is a Folon animation and the other is the wonderful Salif Keita and Folon. Sigh - such delightful chaos, making connections and connecting. Buadrillard said, "...the secret of philosophy may not be to know oneself, nor to know where one is going, but rather to go where the other is going; not to dream oneself, but rather to dream what others dream..." Such delightful chaos!
