L'artifictionalité du temps - Poses Lyonnais
More pictures from France (more particularly, from Lyon). I've put together 23 pictures under the heading "places." Three more sections are to follow, in a few days (hopefully).
Photoshopping these miserable images ("ces quelques hideux feuillets de mon carnet de damné," says Rimbaud), sometimes I don't understand why on earth I'm doing this. The pictures I've taken blindly, for no one. And no one in fact will see them.
To do something for someone, that is to say to have a reason. Not to have a reason can sometimes be a reason to do a thing ("for no reason")... reason is my sickness.

Températures
Chaleur ― Aujourd'hui, pour la première fois cet été, j'ai climatisé ma chambre. De la fin assez tardive de la saison des pluies vient l'été japonais, avec le soleil éblouissant et la chaleur quasi délirante. La canicule ne s'est jamais arrivée à Lyon quand j'y étais, mais le voilà, à Tokyo.

哲学は子どもの遊び
「子どもの遊びと一緒だよ」と言われることが、哲学や芸術にとっては最高の褒め言葉です。子どもの遊びのように、まったく何の役にも立たないようなことが（子どもにとっては）一番おもしろいのです。

Update: Photography "L'artifictionalité du temps - un essai"
Here:
L'artifictionalité du temps - un essai
Having scanned all the pictures taken in France, I am stunned by how horrible they are. They are just disastrous.
I'm still thinking how these regrettable images can be put together and presented (if at all). For now I've put together just five of them, minimally decent (with some photoshop tampering). This is an experimental trial: hence the title, "un essai."
"Artifictionalité" is my neologism combining "artificiality" and "fictionality." "Temps" in French can either mean "time" or "weather." Despite (or because of, perhaps) the low quality of the images, I like this title very much; it is (as always) too deep to be explained.
My photographic incompetence issues probably from my ignorance: not only did I lack skill, effort and talent; I didn't know (j'ignorais) why and for whom I was taking all these pictures.
Even a photographic image must be addressed. Like an utterance.

La mémoire qui ment
Ou plutôt celle à qui je mens? Que ce soit l'un ou l'autre, la question à poser: la photographie à quoi sert-elle par rapport à la mémoire?

Toujours le malvenu
Hier, mal-prévu. Aujourd'hui, mal-advenu. Et puis, demain, mal-souvenu. Je suis revenu chez moi. Mais où ça, « chez moi ? »
