Drinking milkshakes in the morning knowing that we are
free to do what we want today and playing hide and seek while two white
swans moving themselves elegantly on the surface of the water let me
come very close and the fragrance of spring which is in the air and
which had been absent for a very long time breathes books with children’s
drawings and beautiful stories with music from NoMeansNo pumping on
my walkman while I sit on my bike and ask the question what is going
on in the world with all the people that simply go on and simply go
on and simply go on and his warm body that I cuddle up to and he who
loves her and she who loves him as you wake and yet turn over because
you love so much to sleep perfectly pear tea in the morning before a
cup of coffee with soymilk in the evening along with film images from
the immaculately sunny 60’s when people still hadn’t heard
about immigration problems and thought that it was fine to act as they
did and that it was fine that they built the land up and had parties
with lots of friends and danced until I almost fell down as I make photos
of you while you sleep and give you tapes and laugh at your jokes as
well as pinch your bottom and make fun of you and write you little notes
as you leave and cry when you stay away like feeling the cold when you
pinch the doona from me with your hands through my hair and your lips
on my cheek and breath in my neck while hanging onto one another in
the train thinking that we can take on the world and sleep under the
astral sky opposite the golf course in a tent in the dunes with a storm
in the caravan in the hallway in the kitchen in the hayshed and climbing
very high in a tree jumping on your back and smelling your hair and
swimming in the canal while you search for dragonflies and feeling the
sun upon our faces playfully on the cycle lane with hardly any clothes
on and giving you kisses waking up at seven o’clock in the morning
and can’t sleep anymore because you’ve got so much to do
with delicious smelling towels dreaming of travelling to San Francisco
and Vancouver and fanaticising about Melbourne and all the cool people
that you would come across who care about revolution and play songs
from friends in theatre becoming sad from your own text about animal
freedom mermaids new school tattoo's my most beautiful fairytale book
and sneezes and orgasms of the summer of '89 when the little girl didn’t
know what people do and still hadn’t heard of environmental problems
as carefree on the white beach sand of Thassos eating strawberry yoghurt
clothed beautifully and you who loves me
I'll use video as the medium to translate my vision about
a perfect world.
My idea is to make a short film clip to the music from Shellac.
How I see a perfect world? Above are a few ideas that will prevail in
my work.
